"Fertility drug coupons only account for a fraction of the cost of IVF treatment, says Sean Tipton, Chief Advocacy and Policy Officer at ASRM. Tipton says 'pharmaceutical costs are typically 10 to 20%' of the total cost of IVF." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

📌 Robert McFarland, professor of pediatric mitochondrial Medicine at Newcastle University, pioneered the use of mitochondrial replacement therapy in IVF, which prevents mothers with mitochondrial disorders from passing them down to their children.

"Sean Tipton, Chief Advocacy & Policy Officer of ASRM, said in a statement that 'there is no question that lower drug costs will be helpful for patients navigating fertility treatment.' But 'this move alone does not make IVF attainable for most patients.'" www.healio.com/news/primary...

"Making some medications cheaper does not make IVF more accessible to most patients, as the Trump administration has promised, since drugs represent only a fraction of the costs of IVF, Sean Tipton, Chief Advocacy and Policy Officer at ASRM, said in a statement." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"Fertility drugs represent only one portion of the overall cost of care, and patients without good insurance coverage continue to face significant out-of-pocket expenses." Read ASRM Officer Sean Tipton's full reaction to the TrumpRx IVF drug rollout ⬇️ www.asrm.org/news-and-eve...

Roe v. Wade was historic, but it was never the finish line. It established the constitutional right to abortion, but left far too many without abortion access. Our resolve has only gotten stronger to fight for true reproductive freedom for all.

Attacks on reproductive medicine and abortion care go hand-in-hand to undermine bodily autonomy and take power away from patients and providers. We urge you to keep this in mind during today's Senate HELP Committee hearing on #Mifepristone, a safe, FDA-approved medication for over 25 years.

The military invests significant time and resources in the training of highly specialized personnel. Fertility benefits can be an important incentive for those service members to remain in the military. insurancenewsnet.com/oarticle/duc...

Over 50% of IVF cycles are now performed at fertility clinics affiliated with private equity firms, according to an article published in JAMA and co-written by ASRM Director-at-Large Dr. James Dupree. Read a press release from Michigan Medicine: www.michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/e...

"As federal employees have seen an expansion in their fertility benefits, TRICARE still doesn’t offer fertility coverage. A couple of weeks ago, it really looked like it would... As we ring in 2026, I am thinking of the military families struggling to have a baby." www.cnn.com/2025/12/30/p...

In the wake of Speaker Johnson stripping IVF coverage from the NDAA, the DOJ is set to roll back abortion access at VA facilities. This is unacceptable—our active duty servicemembers and veterans deserve comprehensive access to reproductive health care. nwlc.org/press-releas...

"In 2023, ASRM updated its medical definition of infertility to include LGBTQ folks and individuals who don’t have partners. 'It takes two kinds of gametes to have kids,' Tipton said. 'Regardless of the cause, you have to have access in order to be treated.'" calmatters.org/health/2025/...

ASRM is thrilled that the Bipartisan IVF for Military Families Act has been introduced in the House so close on the heels of the removal of IVF coverage from the NDAA. We look forward to working with the bill’s sponsors to get it passed!

Congratulations to Dr. Caiyun Liao, an alumna of the Center for Policy and Leadership's PRIMED program, on the publication of her Viewpoint in JAMA!

📣 BREAKING: Today on #HumanRightsDay, over 110 members of Congress just reintroduced legislation declaring abortion a human right for all and applauding the local leaders who did the same in Philly, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, and more.

NEW @ms.now: Everyone from Dems, to R's, to advocates for military families are livid the Speaker tanked a provision to mandate insurance coverage for IVF for service members + their families in the must-pass defense bill. By Mychael Schnell & me: www.ms.now/news/lawmake...

"It’s not just Democrats who are frustrated that the IVF language was cut from the final bill. A wide range of GOP lawmakers said leaders were wrong to cut that provision." www.ms.now/news/lawmake...

"Republicans loudly declared in 2024 they backed access to in vitro fertilization, even changing their party’s platform to highlight their support. But little has been done to actually deliver on those campaign promises." www.notus.org/healthcare/a...

We’re saddened that families like Kristen’s won’t receive coverage for necessary IVF treatments under the NDAA, but we’re not giving up. ASRM won’t stop working to give military families the comprehensive fertility treatments that members of Congress and their staff already enjoy. ❤️

While this is not the outcome we hoped for, our incredible member advocates have pushed the needle on this issue, ensuring that it will remain atop the DC agenda. Our military families deserve comprehensive coverage for fertility benefits, and we won’t give up.

"'It is shameful that members of Congress and congressional staff enjoy access to comprehensive fertility benefits while they continue to deny this same coverage to military families,' Tipton said." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Sean Tipton, Chief Advocacy and Policy Officer at ASRM, said Johnson is entitled to his personal views on IVF, but he is not entitled to 'override the will of Congress and strip away a provision that was... ultimately approved by both the House and Senate on the floor.'" thehill.com/policy/healt...

On Sunday, US lawmakers released the annual defense policy bill authorizing a record $901 billion in national defense spending in 2026. The bill was somehow $8 billion more than Trump requested, and bans transgender women from competing in sports at military universities.
