On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Richard A. Brook, MS, MBA, president of Better Health Worldwide, Inc., and author of a study published in the August 2025 issue.

His retrospective analysis, "The Impact of Health Benefit Design on Patients With Infertility," examined how benefit design influences infertility treatment use and pregnancy outcomes. The study found that coverage for infertility treatment was associated with significantly higher use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) medications, more ART procedures performed, and improved pregnancy outcomes.

In this conversation, Brook explores the current state of infertility care in the US, the inspiration behind his study, its key findings, and next steps to expand access to ART.
