This bill aims to significantly enhance research, education, and treatment for uterine fibroids, a condition affecting a large percentage of women, particularly minority individuals. It mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to expand, intensify, and coordinate research efforts, authorizing $30,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 to address the current underfunding in this area. The legislation acknowledges the significant morbidity, quality of life impact, and disproportionate burden on people of color due to fibroids. A crucial component involves establishing or expanding a research database to collect data on services furnished for uterine fibroids under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This data will inform a report to Congress on Federal and State expenditures for these treatments, highlighting areas for improvement. The bill also directs the Secretary to develop and disseminate a comprehensive public education program . This public education initiative will cover the awareness, incidence, and prevalence of uterine fibroids, emphasizing the elevated risk for minority individuals. It will also inform the public about the full range of medically appropriate treatment options, including non-hysterectomy procedures. Additionally, the Secretary will work with healthcare-related specialty societies to promote evidence-based care for individuals with fibroids, ensuring providers are informed about diverse treatment options and the specific needs of minority patients.
