Trump announces deal to reduce cost of specific IVF medication

President Donald Trump announced a deal on Thursday between his administration and pharmaceutical company EMD Serono to reduce the cost of some fertility medications.

Senior administration officials have said this deal will help millions of American women struggling to conceive with their ability to afford the expensive treatment.

Trump pledged to expand IVF access for Americans struggling to start families -- making it a point of his presidential campaign. In February, he signed an executive order looking into how to lower costs and reduce barriers to IVF.

This deal "delivers on the president's pledge," an official said.

Trump said EMD Serono has agreed to lower the cost of fertility drugs the company sells in the U.S., including its most popular, Gonal-f, which treats infertility in women and men.

Officials told ABC News one of EMD Serono's drug typically costs between $5,000 and $6,000 per cycle, the officials said, and only about 30% of families have access to some sort of employer-based coverage.

"We're pleased to announce that depending on the patient's income, the cost of drugs for a standard IVF cycle of infertility will decrease somewhere between 42 and 79% for families," an official said, and "based on the results of this negotiation."

The official said those drugs will be available in early 2026.
