The best employers for fertility coverage?

[Anonymous]

My husbands employer recently switched insurance providers. The new insurance is horrible, and I guess because its so expensive, they (the employer) has opted out of any infertility coverage. The last insurance was very limited, but had some coverage. This is the last straw of many for him and this company. He is in the IT field, and knows he has options. Is anyone familiar with any companies that have at least decent infertility coverage? Or amazing coverage? In his search, this will be an important part of accepting a position! Thanks in advance!

Any company in Maryland over 50 employees (I think) is required to have infertility coverage. I would urge your husband to find a job he wants though not just someone who has good infertility coverage. Good luck!

Of course he will only take a position he will be happy with, but the medical in general will play a role in his decision. The infertility is a special bonus. Thank for the MD suggestion! I wish VA had that law!

PwC had really good coverage, I think 25000 for treatment and 10,000 for meds. Not sure if they have IT jobs though.

Id say the bigger the company, the more likely they are to have coverage.

Not if it's a national company. Even if it's based in Maryland, it doesn't need to follow the Maryland rules.

Sorry I should have been more specific. Headquarters need to be in MD. This is the way I understood it but please correct me if I am wrong. I work for a national company headquartered in MD and HR told me infertility coverage was required.

Does anyone know what other states have this requirement? Does NY? Husband's company's headquarters are in NY, and we have the very vague "depending on individual circumstance" listed under fertility treatment coverage (diagnostics have been covered at 90%).

MA does.

Illinois has a fertility coverage mandate. I work in Dc and live in VA and my Chicago based employer has coverage.

FCPS has amazing coverage for infertility. I'm not sure of the pay for the IT positions (TSPECS), but think the pay is probably pretty decent as it is a full year position.

WB/IMF have very good coverage.
