The Biden-Harris Administration has remained staunch in its efforts to expand access to reproductive health care. This commitment includes expanded access to fertility benefits through the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program.
The FEHB Program is the largest employer-sponsored health insurance programs in the country, serving 8.2 million people. Collectively, FEHB plans cover enrollees in every county in the United States and many working and living overseas.
Benefits offered by FEHB plans are competitive with those offered by large private sector employers and are updated regularly to include the most cost effective and clinically effective treatments, including fertility care and comprehensive maternity care.
FEHB is vital to OPM's mission to attract and retain top talent in the federal workforce. According to the most recent Federal Employee Benefits Survey, two thirds agreed that fertility benefits should be available through FEHB plans, including 76% of people born after 1981.
