In the IVF consultations in the White House, as the key report approaches

Provision of insurance cover for the in -vitro fertilization for all members of the US military.

Declare IVF as a “essential health advantage” – and extend the cover of the almost 50 million Americans, which are insured by the Affordable Care Act.

Press the Congress to adopt a law to cover the private insurance company IVF procedure for everyone who has to struggle with infertility.

These are among the comprehensive potential political changes that are discussed in the White House, while the aids prepare for publishing a highly expected report on combating infertility, according to two representatives of the fertility field that have participated in the meetings.

Infertility doctors and other managers in the industry as well as representatives of conservative political groups who are skeptical about the procedure have had to meet the White House and the White House for months to meet up with high -ranking civil servants, including the chief of staff Susie Wiles. The conversations were both extensive and highly specific, whereby the helpers signal their interest in a variety of ideas that IVF would make accessible to a much larger part of the country, some participants said.

“You called me again and again,” said Kaylen Silverberg, a Texan doctor who heads a large fertility clinic in Austin, and regularly advised the group of the White House that monitors the report. One of the helpers who headed the report last week at 10 a.m. and presented a series of hypothetical actions that the administration could take to expand the IVF access and ask for his input.

“She had very, very specific questions: What would the implications be if we did? What are the advantages and disadvantages? What are we missing?” Dr. Silverberg said.
