HR 3589 directs HHS, CDC, and NIH to study fertility conditions like endometriosis and PCOS, add survey questions, fund doctor training, and update billing codes for "restorative reproductive medicine." It also opens Title X and Teen Pregnancy Prevention funding to clinics teaching fertility awareness-based methods, and bars penalties against providers who refuse assisted reproductive technology services on religious or moral grounds.
Affects infertility patients, fertility doctors and clinics, and federally funded health programs including Title X grantees.
Critics may see the bill as favoring one fertility treatment philosophy over others like IVF, potentially limiting access to certain reproductive services at federally funded providers.
