Fertility benefits are not one thing
A plan may cover diagnostic testing but not IVF, medications but not storage, or limited cycles with strict requirements. State mandates and employer benefits vary.
Ask about reproductive endocrinology visits, medication, retrieval, transfer, embryo storage, genetic testing, donor services, and exclusions.
International IVF
International IVF adds questions about medication timing, legal rules, embryo handling, records, and whether any US coverage applies. Verify directly.
Questions to ask
- Is this coverage category available for my location, age, residency status, and enrollment window?
- Which doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, labs, and imaging centers are in network?
- What deductible, copays, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximum could apply?
- Are prescriptions, referrals, prior authorization, or medical records required?
- What should I get in writing before I enroll, travel, or schedule care?
Red flags
- A salesperson avoids written plan documents or official carrier links.
- The pitch focuses only on monthly premium and skips deductible, network, exclusions, and maximum exposure.
- Someone says a doctor, hospital, country, or procedure is covered without written verification.
- A limited-benefit, short-term, travel, or discount product is described like full major medical insurance.
