Best Federal Employee Health Insurance Plan for Infertility

[Anonymous]

DH has agreed to seek treatment in January. Both of us are federal employees-looking for FEP recs for IUI, IVF. Thanks in advance!

There aren’t any. Do you live in MD?

You should ask this in the Infertility Forum.
We are also federal and self-pay after diagnostics.

We're in DC. What plan are you under that pays for diagnostics?

In DC and on Kaiser Federal Plan. It covered 50% of the IUI cost with Shady Grove but no IVF coverage.

PP - this was in 2019 and 2020.

Thanks so much-looking at plans now

Carefirst covers diagnostics and 50% of IUIs. Mine were about $400 out of pocket for each medicated IUI. Sorry you are in this situation, it is awful that the federal government does not offer any coverage for ivf.

New poster. In MD on same plan and happened to chat with my gyn today about infertility treatment... she confirmed IVF not covered. Not sure we will switch bc if that this year but could be a factor next year so appreciate this thread.

Under CareFirst and would love to not change to Kaiser due to needing to switch Rheumatologist and MFM due to having Sjogren's. I am not seeing the 50% coverage of IUIs-can you share which plan you see it under? Thanks so much!!
