In a press conference, the President called on US employers to expand healthcare benefits to include IVF

HOUSTON, Oct. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Inception Fertility, North America's largest provider of fertility services, commends the Trump administration for its policy proposal to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) more accessible.

In his press conference, President Trump announced the development of new rules permitting employers to offer supplemental fertility care benefits, similar to dental or vision coverage, and also announced the launch of a program reducing the costs of fertility medication through most favored nation pricing – measures critical in helping more Americans access the care they need to build families.

"Financial barriers remain one of the biggest reasons patients don't move forward with treatment. That's why expanding access to care has become just as important for leaders in this space as advancing the technologies that help those same patients," says TJ Farnsworth, Founder and CEO of Inception Fertility. "We commend President Trump for being the first President to prioritize this issue and take meaningful action to expand accessibility to family building treatments."

Farnsworth is also the Founder and President of the Fertility Providers Alliance, an organization of fertility clinic networks, independent fertility clinics, and fertility specialists committed to supporting the activities of fertility care providers by promoting innovation, cooperation, and collective action. Together with Inception Fertility, the FPA has made protecting and expanding IVF a main priority, working with White House officials and policymakers to ensure fertility care remains accessible and supported at the national level.

Infertility affects one in six couples, and the average cost of an IVF cycle can start at $15,000. Data shows that nearly 60% of U.S. employers still do not offer fertility benefits to employers, even as research shows that nearly 90% of employees would consider moving to companies that offer fertility benefits. In addition, the cost of fertility medication can represent upwards of 20% of the total out of pocket costs for treatment and medication.

Because policy changes can take months or even years, those who have been diagnosed with infertility, or are experiencing challenges in building their families, are encouraged not to delay seeking care. A reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist (REI) can help identify the underlying cause of infertility, and often times, patients who do work with an REI go on to conceive without needing IVF. For patients who do need advanced treatment options, there are financing options available.
