A common concern for aspiring parents navigating fertility care is the costs associated with treatment. This can add stress to an already complex and emotional process. Fortunately, there are ways to save money and get the most out of your insurance benefits as an aspiring parent. It just takes understanding your insurance coverage and working with a fertility clinic that can guide you through the process.
Infertility Insurance Coverage and Plans
Fertility treatment costs depend on a variety of factors, including what treatments you undergo and how many cycles of those treatments it takes to have a successful pregnancy. Your insurance provider can tell you exactly what fertility treatments your plan covers. Some plans offer coverage for certain fertility care services, such as diagnostic testing and labwork, while others may cover procedures like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). However, limitations, such as age restrictions or lifetime maximums, may apply. Before starting your fertility care, speak with your insurance provider to understand the full scope of your benefits and coverage options.
Financial Assurance Plans
Depending on your fertility clinic, you may have additional financial assurance. For example, Aspire HFI offers a financial assurance plan that ensures that if you do not become pregnant during your first fresh IVF cycle and embryo transfer and no additional embryos remain for transfer, all subsequent fresh IVF cycles are free of physician fees. This can provide additional peace of mind during an otherwise vulnerable and sometimes unpredictable time.
Financing Options
There are financial options available for aspiring parents seeking fertility care, including grants, as well as programs from reputable partners like:
- Bundl
- Lending Club
- Capex MD
- Future Family
- Prosper Healthcare
Your fertility clinic can help determine which financing options work best for your unique situation.
