Seeking coverage for infertility. Insurers should offer reasonable services to help couples achieve pregnancy.
One of every eight U.S. couples will seek treatment for infertility at some point in the child-bearing years. Infertility affects both men and women of every racial, religious, ethnic, and socioeconomic group. For most of these couples, access to infertility treatment will be denied either because they don't have medical insurance, or because the coverage that they have severely limits infertility coverage.
