Discovery communications insurance benefits

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if the insurance benefits at Discovery cover IVF? My wife and I are currently undergoing IVF which is covered (though there is a cost cap which we haven't hit yet) but she is considering applying to Discovery. We are a same sex couple so that adds an extra dimension to the question - sometimes beneifits are denied to same sex couples.

I know it's a reach but if anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it.

Just bumping as as last ditch effort!

They are headquartered in MD. MD requires infertility coverage on insurance plans in the state so I would think Discovery has that coverage. However, mnay insurers require that the couple be married and that for IVF you are using husband's sperm and wife's eggs. I don't know if anything has changed since it is legal for same sex couples to get married in MD.

OP here, yes this is exactly what I'm trying to figure out. I'm pretty sure Discovery has IVF coverage, I'm not sure if they'd cover us. Some companies cherry pick for coverage in this way.

Thanks.
