US EditionWhite House releases plan to broaden access to IVF, fertility drugs
- The White House rolled out a plan on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025, to expand IVF access and cut fertility drug prices through an agreement with EMD Serono on TrumpRx.gov.
- Amid growing pressure after Roe v. Wade's overturning, rising costs and the Alabama Supreme Court decision on embryos pushed the administration to address IVF access.
- EMD Serono will offer its three IVF drugs at discounted rates, with eligible patients seeing an 84% discount and officials estimating costs near about $2,200 per treatment.
- The administration will issue Labor, Treasury and HHS guidance allowing employers to offer voluntary stand-alone fertility benefits, while advocates praised the step and critics said it falls short for middle-income families.
- The administration says TrumpRx.gov will launch in January 2026 to sell discounted fertility drugs, while EMD Serono agreed with the Food and Drug Administration to speed Pergoveris review to one to two months.
