Impact of insurance coverage on access to assisted reproductive technology: A nationwide survey in Japan (the <scp>IZANAMI</scp> project)
Insurance coverage improved patient access to ART services, especially for those in their 20s and early 30s. However, the number of patients in the uninsured group decreased significantly. Accessibility in rural areas also notably improved. These findings highlight the importance of economic support for enhancing ART accessibility.
