The American Medical Association (AMA) adopted new policies during its Interim Meeting to ensure that veterans—particularly those with service-related injuries—have access to a broad range of infertility benefits, including in vitro fertilization (IVF). Specifically, the AMA adopted policy urging Congress to permanently lift its ban on Veterans Administration (VA) coverage of IVF. The AMA also encouraged the Department of Defense (DOD) to offer service members fertility counseling and information on relevant health care benefits provided through TRICARE and the VA at pre-deployment and during the medical discharge process.
