VA Wants to Give More Vets Access to Infertility Treatments, Drop Copays for Contraception [View all]
The Department of Veterans Affairs wants to make it easier for some veterans to get fertility services, as well as drop birth control prescription copayments, beginning next fiscal year as part of its 2023 budget plan.
The VA's proposed budget requests legislation that would allow the department to expand a program that provides advanced fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization, or IVF, to seriously injured veterans by including those who are single or in a same-sex relationship.
The department also has asked that it be allowed to cover treatment for seriously injured veterans who need donor sperm or eggs or require a surrogate to have children. And it is seeking the ability to reimburse adoption-related expenses for eligible veterans.
