Insurance and IVF

Post by Pacific »

Hi everyone,

It was great to discover the forum that I need so much right now.

I am new to IVF - considering it after 2 IUI attempts have failed. We have been trying for 4 years.

I have a question about medical insurance: have you found an insurance plan that would cover IVF, at least 1-2 tries?

I live in California.

Thank you in advance for the information!

Are you looking for a individual policy of some sort? I've only been covered under employer's plan and my last one did cover $30k in IVF. The one prior to that did not cover IVF only IUI and a certain number of cycles.

Best of Luck!

Infertility treatments are a state thing. It depends on what state you live in whether or not they are covered and what coverage you get.

Yes, I understand, looks like IVF coverage is very state-dependent. I am in California.

I am looking for an individual plan (not through employer). Does anyone have tips on California IVF possibilities in terms of coverage?
