Couples are beginning families later than ever, beyond the ideal age for fertility in women. More single women and members of the LGBTQ+ community are embarking on the journey to parenthood. However, lack of adequate financial resources can delay, or even end their journey to fertility treatment before it begins. Progyny is redefining fertility and family building benefits by making dreams of parenthood come true.

However, conventional fertility coverage is limited to a fixed dollar amount, usually between $15,000 to $25,000 — which means these fertility benefits do not cover the entire cost of treatment. This carrier-based coverage is further restricted by pre-certification and diagnosis requirements, making fertility treatments inaccessible to many. These things combined compel many to make cost-based decisions resulting in poor treatments such as multiple embryo transfer which often results in twins. Progyny’s unique, all-inclusive plan design focuses on outcomes rather than cost, which means fertility specialists can tailor treatment to each member’s unique needs. This smarter approach makes it possible for members and physicians to develop and pursue customized, effective treatments the first time, with the highest chance for a successful singleton pregnancy that’s healthier for both mother and baby. 1The Cost of IUI.

What’s more, inadequate fertility coverage leads to poor treatment decisions. The result? Multiple births, including high-risk prenatal care, NICU stays, and other chronic health complications. Employers unknowingly bear the cost for these complications — whether they offer fertility benefits or not. The Progyny all-inclusive benefit plan focuses on a faster path to pregnancy by incenting the best clinical practices which result in a healthy singleton birth.
