IVF Insurance Coverage in the UK

Post by Pacific »

Does anyone know any private health insurance plans in the UK that cover IVF procedure? I know that NHS does cover a few IVF attempts. What about private plans? Thank you!

Some United Health Care plans cover it. They covered mine.

Hi Pacific, Idon't know if UK insurance plans do cover for IVF. However if you have already seen a doctor regarding this it will be classed as a pre existing problem and may not be covered. I know when i looked into private healthcare, you had to have the plan a full 12 months before you could claim any benefits due to pregnancy,ie ; private room etc at due date.
Good luck.
