Hello, my friends! It’s Thursday’s with Sharon and my day to share with you one of the many interesting topics brought up by our callers here at the Attain® IVF Call Center. Today it’s IVF and Insurance.
It would make things so much easier if all states had mandated coverage, however, that’s not the case. I thought it would be helpful to attach this link so that you can read the specific guidelines for the 15 states that have laws requiring insurance coverage for infertility treatment. Here’s an article on AttainFertility.com that gives you an overview with links to each state for more information.
Just in case, it’s important to call and check with your own personal medical insurance provider to determine whether or not you are covered for any part of IVF treatment.
People often ask, “How do I participate in the Attain® IVF Program if my insurance covers IVF?” This is a great question. Our Program is valuable to those with limited or no insurance. An example of limited insurance would mean; the “in-cycle monitoring” portion of the IVF cycle is covered, however, the retrieval and transfer is not or the coverage allows for a certain monetary cap, such as $5,000. Give us a call at 1-866-968-7483 and we would be more than happy to speak with you on how to maximize your coverage, offer financing options and increase your chances for success.
I hope this information has been useful. We at Attain IVF do our best to help ease as much of the stress, associated with your treatment, as possible and “We are as committed to building your family as you are.”
Until next time, my best to you.

i was refered to infertility specialist but found out the my insurance will not cover it and me and my husband want to have a baby but unable to afford it out of pocket and trying to get a loan we were turned down due to credit problems what are we to do, he wants a baby, i have kids from my first marry and now that i’m remarry again he doesn’t have kids at all we both want to have at least one or two but the cost is making it impossible what are we to do.
I’m so sorry it’s been a difficult road for you and your husband. If you haven’t met with your fertility clinic’s financial counsel already, you may want to start there. They are best-equipped to discuss your personal options.
I also wrote a post about fertility grants that you may want to check out.
And we also have several articles within the Resource Center are on AttainFertility.com that are about paying for fertility treatment.
Best of luck to you and let us know how it goes!
