IVF Medication Discounts Could Lower Costs for Patients in 2026
Breaking News for Fertility Patients at AFCC
On October 16, 2025, President Trump unveiled a national plan to make IVF more affordable. This includes:
-
Discounted IVF Medications: Through a partnership with EMD Serono, drugs like Gonal-f, Ovidrel, and Cetrotide will be offered at reduced prices via a new platform called TrumpRX, launching in early 2026.
-
Employer Coverage Expansion: Employers will be encouraged to offer infertility benefits similar to dental or vision plans—though no federal mandate will be issued.

FDA Fast-Tracking: Pergoveris, another EMD Serono medication, will be prioritized for review to speed up its availability.
