Renee, according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, Maryland requires insurance policies that cover pregnancy-related benefits also cover the costs of IVF. This has some qualifications, like you must be married and have been infertile for at least two years and is capped at $100,000.

Brandi, IVF is expensive, usually ranging around $12,000. Most insurance companies don't cover it, but there are some financing programs available or grants that you can apply for. Check out our article Financing Fertility Treatments for some suggestions.

Karrie, unfortunately, many insurance companies don't cover fertility costs. Your fertility clinic might be able to recommend payment options or put you in touch with organizations in your area that help pay for treatment. There are some groups that offer financial support, for example, if your fertility problem is caused by cancer treatments.

Check out our Financing Fertility Treatments article for more information.

Blynda, many fertility clinics have payment options for IVF, but you will need to discuss this with the clinic as each one has different practices and guidelines for financial assistance. Also check out our article, Financing Fertility Treatments, for more ideas about options.

Hector, according to the website for the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, all health insurers in your state are required to cover IVF unless they are an HMO.

There are a number of conditions to qualify for coverage, including having two years of fertility problems with no known cause or having a verified issue like endometriosis or abnormal male problems.

You might try contacting the Arkansas Department of Health for more information about what you are entitled to or talking to your fertility clinic since they should be knowledgable about the insurance laws in your state.

Hello, My wife and I have been trying to start a family now for over a year. Complications with myself and now my wife have narrowed our choices down to proceed with an invitro procedure. We live in Arkansas now for five years, and i have health insurance from BC/BS federal employee plan for Arkansas. this website here states that it is a state law requirement to have some sort of insurance coverage to partially cover Invitro in the state of Arkansas. However, my insurance tells me that because my plan offered is a federal government plan for the state, it is not bound to any state laws there of.

Are we going to be denied Invitro program in Arkansas because of the federal government health plans not supporting infertility programs. My wife and I have been sostressed out and depress from all of this that we need advise/help, but noone out here can provide assistance in this matter. Could anyone please send us information on this matter. We would appreciate it very much.

Thank You, Hector

Hi Dawn, I am not aware of any programs that help with the cost of in vitro. Individual fertility clinics may have financing options along with the two links we list above, but those will probably just help you space out payments rather than cover the cost. Your local fertility doctors may be able to put you in touch with resources close to home that can help.
