Post Anyone out there have insurance coverage for infertility?

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can help me. I am officially FED UP with my insurance covering NOTHING related to infertility. My company is always listed as a top company in working mother's magazine and we always talk about how we are so big on women's issues, but we offer nothing for infertility coverage. It seems kind of hypocritical to me. I'm writing a letter to our director of human resources and I'd like to have some examples of other large companies that do offer coverage. If any of you lucky women out there get any infertility coverage, would you please respond and let me know who your company is? I'm looking mainly for large companies. Thanks so much for your help and wish me luck!

Michelle

I work for Goodrich Corporation. After 1 year of appeals, I finally got them to pay for diagnosis, u/s, and blood work. They will not pay for infertiltiy drugs, IUI or IVF.

My insurance benefit covers all infertility include IUI and Injectable IUI, but it does not cover IVF. My insurance is under my DH's company. (Kaiser)

I am covered under my DH's insurance (Health Assurance) and they have been pretty good so far, they pay a lifetime max of 2500.00 for infertility testing which includes things like sperm analysis, etc. All my ultrasounds and bloodwork were covered because my RE put everything as diagnostic so the insurance company would pay which was great. The only thing we've paid for is the meds and the IUI so luckily out of about 20,000 we've only spent about 2,000 Best of Luck
