What is infertility?
Infertility is defined by the failure to achieve a successful pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. In women 35 years of age or older, this definition applies after 6 months.
Do VA benefits include diagnosis and treatment of infertility?
Yes. VA benefits include infertility assessment, counseling, and treatment for Veterans. The first step in assessing fertility is a complete history and physical examination. When medically indicated, the provider orders laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures necessary to determine what may contribute to infertility. These results are used to counsel the patient and develop a plan.
When medically indicated, VHA provides the following diagnostic and treatment services for infertility:
Female Veterans
Diagnostic tests including laboratory blood testing (e.g., follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH)), genetic counseling and testing, post-coital test, endometrial biopsy (to rule out a luteal phase defect), pelvic and/or transvaginal ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), and saline infused sonohysterogram
Surgeries including diagnostic laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, surgical correction of structural pathology consistent with standards of care including operative laparoscopy and operative hysteroscopy, and reversal of tubal ligation (tubal re-anastomosis)
Interventions including medication for ovulation induction (e.g., clomiphene), certain hormonal therapies (for controlled ovarian hyper-stimulation), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and cryopreservation for medically indicated conditions
Male Veterans
Diagnostic tests including laboratory blood testing (e.g., serum testosterone), genetic counseling and testing, semen analysis, evaluation of erectile dysfunction (e.g., in spinal cord injury), post-ejaculatory urinalysis, and transrectal and/or scrotal ultrasonography
Surgeries including surgical correction of structural pathology and vasectomy reversal
Interventions including hormonal therapies, treatment of erectile dysfunction, sperm cryopreservation for medically indicated conditions, and sperm retrieval techniques
Does VA cover intrauterine insemination (IUI)?
VA covers intrauterine insemination (IUI; also known as artificial insemination) for female Veterans. VA covers sperm washing for male Veterans who are donating sperm for artificial insemination.
Do VA benefits exclude any infertility services?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
VHA provides infertility care for all enrolled Veterans as described in the medical benefits package contained in 38 CFR 17.38, which allows for medically necessary care to promote, preserve, or restore the health of the individual and is in accord with generally accepted standards of medical practice. This includes certain surgical and medical procedures. The medical benefits package explicitly prohibits in vitro fertilization. (See below, What are Assisted Reproductive Technologies?)
Infertility services for a non-Veteran Spouse
Only the Veteran is eligible for the VA-covered infertility treatment services. Non-Veteran partners (spouses or significant others) are not eligible to receive infertility treatment services from VA. Certain infertility services/treatment (with specific exclusions laid out in 38 CFR 17.272(a)) are provided to eligible non-Veteran spouses via CHAMPVA.
For certain clinical visits that involve education and counseling (such as infertility and/or genetic counseling), it may be possible for other family members to participate at the request of the Veteran. Given that the non-Veteran partner is not eligible to receive infertility evaluation and treatment or genetic counseling services from VA, VA providers may assist with providing information about local resources where the non-Veteran partner can obtain these services.
Surrogacy
Surrogacy is not a covered VA benefit.
What are Assisted Reproductive Technologies?
Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) include all fertility treatments in which both eggs and sperm are handled. In general, ART procedures involve surgically removing eggs from a womans ovaries, combining them with sperm in the laboratory, and returning them to the womans body or donating them to another woman. Some common forms of ART are defined below.
In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF or IVF-ET): Using an ultrasound guided needle, one or more oocytes (eggs) are aspirated from ovarian follicles. Fertilization of the eggs with sperm occurs in vitro (outside of body) in the laboratory. A few days later, one or more multi-celled embryo(s) are transferred into the uterus through the cervix. About 99% of ART cycles performed are IVF-ET.
Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT): A laparoscope is used to aspirate one or more mature oocytes (eggs) from ovarian follicles. The oocytes and sperm are immediately placed into the fallopian tube where fertilization occurs spontaneously.
Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT): Using an ultrasound guided needle, one or more oocytes (eggs) are aspirated from ovarian follicles. Fertilization of the eggs with sperm occurs in vitro (outside of body) in the laboratory. The next day, the woman undergoes laparoscopy and one or more fertilized eggs (zygotes) are transferred to the fallopian tube. This occurs before the one-celled zygote begins to divide into more cells.
Tubal embryo transfer (TET): Using an ultrasound guided needle, one or more oocytes (eggs) are aspirated from ovarian follicles. Fertilization of the eggs with sperm occurs in vitro (outside of body) in the laboratory. The fertilized eggs divide in the laboratory, and a few days later, the woman undergoes laparoscopy and one or more multi-celled embryos are transferred to the fallopian tube.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): This is a specialized technique performed as part of IVF for couples with severe sperm abnormalities. With this procedure, each egg is fertilized by injecting a single sperm directly into the egg. ICSI is also used in combination with ZIFT and TET procedures.
Overall, success rates are similar for these different ART procedures. Only IVF-ET does not require the woman to undergo laparoscopy; however, ZIFT, GIFT, and TET may offer some advantages to patients who have difficult transcervical embryo transfer, uterine abnormalities (such as those caused by DES exposure), or recurrent failure with standard IVF or donor insemination. In addition, GIFT, although more invasive than IVF, may be an appropriate choice in patients who, for religious or personal reasons, do not wish to have embryos in the laboratory.
What is the current Department of Defense (DoD) policy on infertility services (2012)?
In 2010, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (ASD(HA)) authorized in vitro fertilization services for the benefit of seriously ill or severely injured Active Duty Service members. DoD developed implementation guidance for these services, which is summarized below:
Assisted reproductive services for seriously ill or severely injured female and male service members are covered
The benefit is limited to permitting a qualified member to procreate with his or her lawful spouse, as defined in federal statue and regulation
The benefit applies equally to male and female seriously ill or severely injured service members
Third party donations and surrogacy are not covered benefits
The DoD will share the costs of cryopreservation and storage for up to three years
Issues regarding ownership, future embryo use, donation, destruction, etc., will be governed by the applicable state law and will be the responsibility of the service member, his/her lawful spouse, and the facility storing the cryopreserved embryos
Limitation of Cycles
Prediction of fertility potential (Ovarian Reserve)
Three completed IVF cycles will be provided for the seriously ill or severely injured female service member or lawful spouse of the seriously ill or severely injured male service member
No more than six attempts to accomplish three completed IVF cycles
A laparoscope is a thin viewing scope with a fiber optic light source that is inserted through an incision into the abdominal cavity to view and/or operate on the abdominal and pelvic organs. A surgical procedure using a laparoscope is called laparoscopy.
