Health Insurance for Infertility Treatment (including IVF)
While many patients have insurance coverage, the extent of coverage
varies widely, and figuring it out can be quite challenging. Often clinics
will have a financial coordinator on staff who acts as patient advocate that
can help patients decipher the ins and outs of their insurance coverage.
It's important to know exactly what is covered before you start testing and
treatment.
Some U.S. states have laws that pertain to insurance coverage related to
infertility. The laws vary by state.
The Employment Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974 exempts companies that self-insure from state regulation.
