US EditionTrump Announces Deal to Make a Common Fertility Drug Cheaper for IVF Patients
The Trump administration’s deal with EMD Serono aims to reduce IVF medication costs by up to 2,320% for low- and middle-income women to improve treatment access.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced the federal government struck a deal with pharmaceutical company EMD Serono to lower costs of fertility medications such as Gonal‑F and unveiled guidance encouraging employer fertility coverage.
- Rising costs and repeat cycles have meant a study by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine found one IVF cycle costs about $12K, with drugs often costing thousands, limiting access.
- Offering large discounts, the White House says buyers can get 'a discount equal to 796% of the deal price,' and low‑ and middle‑income women will receive an additional 2,320% discount when purchasing from TrumpRx.gov, which will go live in January 2026.
- Dr. Zev Williams, director of Columbia University Fertility Center, said the initiative could lead to `new babies born because of this initiative,' noting `Fertility, just the experience of it, is so, so difficult` due to high drug costs.
- Earlier this year, a February executive order promised to ease burdens and make IVF treatment drastically more affordable, but the recent pharmaceutical pricing deals fall short of President Donald Trump's campaign pledge last year to make IVF free.
