Why Our Cause is Important
Why Our Cause is Important
On Average 15 percent of Military Service Members experience infertility and roughly 37 percent of the total force of women have issues becoming pregnant. With continued exposure to high rates of EMF, toxins, and environmental stressors the infertility rates will only continue to increase.
Tricare is the primary health care insurance for military members and spouses and does not cover Artificial or intrauterine insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Many military members are also hesitant to access mental health care due to the fear of diagnosis, documentation of a psych record which could impact flight status, TS Clearance and promotion.
IVF can cost between $12,000-$30,000 per cycle depending on the levels of care needed and of which some members will need multiple cycles. making IVF financially unobtainable for many military families. Tricare also makes it extremely difficult for military members to get many commonly needed tests and screenings covered, which puts a tremendous emotional and financial burden on military members.
Going through IVF treatment is an intense process filled with harsh medications, invasive procedures and emotional stress. This emotional stress combined with the financial burden, work related stress and the overall emotional burden of infertility can be daunting and leave many couples feeling hopeless. Mindful Warrior Alliance is committed to addressing the glaring gap that exists between our military community and the lack of Tricare insurance coverage for infertility associated costs.
