Infertility Insurance and Cost Cutting Options

Infertility Health Insurance Coverage

Infertility Health Insurance Coverage

Infertility health insurance coverage is extremely rare and very difficult to find. Most insurance plans choose not to cover infertility for a simple reason: the cost of providing such a benefit may far exceed the premium most policy holders are willing to pay.

Infertility insurance must pay for the cost of infertility procedures, medical treatment of the resulting conception, extra monitoring of high-risk pregnancy, and NICU confinement of premature infants connected with high order multiple birth. Fifteen states mandate that insurance cover infertility, but loopholes abound. Couples trying to conceive should learn how to:
  • Get infertility insurance when possible 
  • Reduce infertility costs for out-of-pocket expenses 
  • Protect family finances when you get pregnant and take maternity leave

Before Getting PregnantBefore Getting PregnantCouples who are trying to conceive should investigate supplemental insurance, flexible spending accounts, and deductible medical expenses before getting pregnant. Supplemental insurance needs to start preconception in order to cover your pregnancy and maternity leave. Flexible spending accounts are a great way to cut infertility costs not covered by insurance. Medical expense deduction limits are crucial variables any couple paying for IVF should understand.

Paying for IVF Without Infertility Insurance

We were about to take out a huge loan to pay for IVF. Good thing we found some alternatives, because my multiple pregnancy would have made repaying that loan very, very hard.

Supplemental Health Insurance for Infertility

Supplemental health insurance for infertility allows you to bet that your infertility treatments will work. Purchase supplemental insurance before beginning your infertility treatments. Benefits are paid when you deliver your baby. Your benefit for normal delivery may greatly exceed the premium you pay. Use the surplus to offset some of your costs. 

Couples undergoing infertility treatments often experience high-risk pregnancies.  Some couples are starting later in life, while others choose a fertility procedure that results in multiple pregnancies.  Supplemental insurance will pay benefits if mom misses work prior to delivery, or needs to be confined to the hospital prior to delivery.   

Multiple pregnancies often are delivered pre-term. When this happens your infants may spend time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). You may be left with extra hospital bills. Supplemental insurance will also cover the hospital stay for mom's normal labor and delivery, and may pay additional benefits for each infant confined in the NICU for medical reasons.

Supplemental Maternity InsuranceSupplemental Maternity InsuranceCouples who are trying to conceive often must borrow money to get pregnant, then experience a high risk pregnancy, then pre-term delivery associated with high order multiple birth, followed by an unpaid maternity leave. Supplemental maternity insurance protects your family finances by replacing income, and filling holes in hospital insurance plans.
