Insurance questions 

Knowing what your insurance company covers (and what they don’t) is an important first step toward sorting out your fertility finances. Here are some questions you can ask.

  • Does my plan cover fertility testing and treatment? 
  • Are their limits on my coverage? 
  • Do I need a referral or a prior authorization before I start treatment? 
  • What will my out-of-pocket expenses be? 
  • Does my plan cover donor services or fertility preservation (like freezing eggs or sperm)? 
  • Do I have to use specific providers or clinics in order to have my costs covered? 

Take notes (or have a partner take notes) and get the name of the person you speak with. 

If the answers you get from your insurance company are confusing, call our office to talk with a financial counselor. They can explain the insurance information to help you understand it.
