This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to address endometriosis through increasing awareness, research, and other means. Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, which may result in pain, infertility, and other symptoms.

Specifically, HHS must

  • report on barriers (e.g., issues related to health insurance coverage and costs) to accessing endometriosis care and treatments;
  • disseminate information about endometriosis, such as its symptoms and treatments, to both the public and health care providers; and
  • seek to contract with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study racial, ethnic, and other disparities in endometriosis prevalence, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.

The National Institutes of Health must also conduct or support data collection, surveillance, and research related to endometriosis.
