Does insurance cover infertility treatments?

my husband is getting insurance april 1st its tufts does anyone know if this will cover infertility treatments? we've been trying over a year

Unfortunately, insurance companies tend to offer the minimum amount of coverage and in the United States the amount of coverage is often mandated by the state so it is going to depend on where you live or where your employers headquarters is located along with who their insurance is through.

I live in Massachusetts, have insurance through Blue Cross/Blue Shield Massachusetts and my treatment including IVF was covered with just co-pays. Massachusetts mandates all insurance policies that offer maternity coverage also offer fertility coverage with a few exceptions such as companies that are self insured, experimental treatments and reversal of self-inflicted sterility such as vasectomies and tubal reversal surgery.

You can check the resolve website for more information on your state:

You should also contact Fertility Lifelines - they have a toll-free number that you can call for a free consultation on your current insurance coverage. They also have a lot of great information on finding ways to pay for your treatments:

I would say your best bet would to be to call the insurance company and ask. They would be able to tell you if it covers even a little bit of it. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you!

Some plans will, and some plans won't. You can call your provider and find out exactly what your plan covers (sometimes it's a percentage, and some treatments may be covered while others are not).
