So... how does one find out about these jobs with coverage to apply to them? It's not like a lot of places advertise it, and I'd be willing to change fields for it if possible.

It might be behind a paywall now, but FertilityIQ used to publish a yearly list ranking employers based on fertility coverage, across industries, and including the specific benefits provided.

A lot of universities have fertility coverage.

If you live in Maryland you can get a plan that covers infertility.

I was going to mention the same thing. I don't know if Aetna and SGF still have that agreement. You could probably contact SGF to find out.

Of course. A lot of people I know, including at my own small employer, have fertility coverage. It’s by no means extensive but is enough to cover a few rounds of IVF.

Ok, so are there DC employers that do cover fertility treatment?

No

Definitely not. Do not go to the fed gov't if you're looking for any kind of meaningful fertility coverage. I went through multiple rounds of IVF and literally nothing was covered, while my friends in the private sector had almost everything covered. I'm still pretty salty about it, tbh.

No. The few plans that did have any coverage took it away several years ago. Once things are gone, they don't come back.

Does anyone think the federal government will add infertility coverage in the 2022 plans? I’m debating a position in the federal government and will mostly need another round of IVF.
