Navigating Fertility Insurance Coverage

Fertility insurance coverage is evolving rapidly as more healthcare plans begin to recognize the essential nature of fertility care. However, coverage can vary widely depending on your insurance provider, your specific plan, and the laws in your state. At Boston IVF in New England and New York, we’re here to help you understand your options and navigate the financial aspects of your care.

How We Can Help

At Boston IVF in New England and New York, the financial coordinator on your care team is an expert in navigating insurance policies and maximizing your coverage. They will work closely with you to answer your financial and insurance questions, guide you through the process, and help you understand what costs may be covered versus out-of-pocket expenses.

Being Proactive

It’s also a good idea to contact your insurance provider directly to gain a clear understanding of your benefits. Asking detailed questions can help you prepare for potential expenses and avoid surprises. Here are some key questions to consider:

✓ What are my fertility benefits?
✓ What are my specialty medication benefits?
✓ Where is the specialty pharmacy located?
✓ Do I have a lifetime maximum for medication coverage?
✓ Is my lifetime maximum combined with my treatment coverage?
✓ Do I have a medication deductible?
✓ Do my injectable medications require prior authorization, and how long does the review process take?
✓ Do I have coverage for cryopreservation, such as frozen embryo storage?

Additional Resources

Your employer's Human Resources (HR) department may also be able to provide detailed information about fertility coverage included in your benefits package. If you work for a company that offers fertility care benefits, HR can clarify whether treatments, medications, or preservation options are covered and explain any associated policies.
