Summary: The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) opposes the proposed rule to create an excepted fertility benefit, arguing it lacks sufficient oversight, creates regulatory inconsistencies, and imposes harmful lifetime dollar limits. They recommend withdrawing the rule in favor of a comprehensive fertility insurance coverage mandate that includes IVF as an essential health benefit.
On behalf of the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, we are submitting comments on the Excepted Fertility Benefits proposed rule.
