Is insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization a good thing?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2015, 231,936 cycles of in vitro fertilization were performed in the United States at 499 clinics resulting in the birth of 72,913 infants and representing nearly 2% of all births in the U.S. The practice of in vitro fertilization (IVF), initially considered revolutionary, has become routine not only in the U.S. but in much of the world. While IVF treatment in the U.S. is common, insurance coverage for IVF is not. As of 2018, only 8 states specifically mandate IVF coverage and 7 others mandate coverage for some form of infertility treatment.
