[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cigna is going to cover this despite no diagnosis of infertility? Seriously?

They will cover all the prep to get the eggs, extract and fertilize. And then they will cover implanting in a different mother.

I’m just shocked. Go for it.

As for what clinic to use, pick the one that is closest to home or work for the partner who will be having the eggs extracted.

Yes, it's required by New York law, and that's where my plan is based. There has been litigation over this in New York that resulted in a favorable settlement such that even surrogacy is covered for gay men, and my plan has a long non-discrimination policy spelled out in the policy.

My understanding is the only thing that isn't covered is the donor gametes. There might be some storage fees, but I'll have to re-read the policy.

I actually left my excellent job to take this one in substantial part to have this IVF coverage. [/quote]
