I strongly urge all of the Mommies on this board from the U.S. to contact their local House of Representative member and ask what their thoughts are on H.R. 2892 and ask for the current status on this bill. Urge your representative to push to get this bill moving again.

H.R. 2892 is a bill that was introduced on June 27, 2007 by Rep. Anthony Weiner [D, NY-9] along with 19 other co-sponsors. This bill Amends the Public Health Service Act and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) to require a group health plan that provides coverage for obstetrical services to include coverage for non-experimental treatment of infertility that is deemed appropriate by a participant or beneficiary and the treating physician. Requires coverage for assisted reproductive technology only if certain conditions are met. Prohibits a group health plan from taking specified actions to avoid the requirements of this Act.
Applies such requirements to health insurance coverage offered in the individual market and coverage offered through Federal Employees Health Benefit (FEHB ) plans and Department of Defense health care plans.
