     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Veteran Families Health Services Act of 2021&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill addresses fertility treatments, counseling, and other health-related programs for veterans and members of the Armed Forces.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide fertility treatments and counseling to covered veterans and active duty service members or a spouse, partner, or gestational surrogate of such veteran or service member. A covered veteran or service member is a former or current member of the Armed Forces who has an infertility condition, unless it is demonstrable that the individual was completely infertile prior to serving in the Armed Forces.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the case of in vitro fertilization treatment, DOD and the VA may not furnish more than three completed cycles or six attempted cycles, whichever occurs first.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DOD must establish procedures related to gamete retrieval and storage. Additionally, DOD must provide service members with the opportunity to cryopreserve and store their gametes prior to deployment to a combat zone or a hazardous duty assignment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DOD and the VA must share best practices and facilitate referrals for the furnishing of fertility treatment and counseling to eligible individuals.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Fertility counseling and treatment are included within authorized VA medical services. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The VA may pay the adoption expenses (for up to three adoptions) for a covered member who is enrolled in the VA health care system.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The VA must facilitate specified reproduction and infertility research conducted collaboratively by DOD and the Department of Health and Human Services.&lt;/p&gt;
