Coverage at Work?

For Employees
  • Health Insurance 101. What is public insurance vs. private insurance? What is a mandate to cover vs. a mandate to offer? And what is ERISA? Understand the ins and outs of health insurance coverage.
  • Questions to Ask Regarding Health Insurance Policies (PDF Document). When choosing a policy or reviewing an existing policy, decide what you are looking for in a plan, paying specific attention to covered benefits, exclusions and restrictions as they relate to reproductive health services and infertility diagnosis and treatment.
  • State Coverage. Currently only 15 states require insurance coverage for infertiltiy treatment, and laws vary widely. Learn which states offer coverage, and what is included and what is excluded.
  • No Coverage through Work? Arm yourself with facts and data and then use the sample letter we provide to persuade your employer to offer insurance coverage for infertility.

 

For Employers
  • Insurance Coverage Facts. Recent studies indicate that including comprehensive infertility coverage in insurance benefits may actually reduce costs and improve outcomes.
