New York State has a strong IVF insurance mandate
New York law requires large group employers to cover up to 3 IVF cycles. If you have employer-sponsored insurance regulated by New York State, you likely have significant fertility coverage. Check your plan before paying out of pocket — in a market where a single cycle can cost $20,000+, this distinction is critical.
Note: Self-insured ERISA plans are exempt from the New York mandate. Ask your HR department whether your plan is state-regulated or self-insured.
