Insurance and coverage

California law

California requires many insurers to cover IVF (law effective 2026) -- 3 oocyte retrievals, unlimited transfers (large group).

California law requires coverage of fertility preservation before treatment that can cause infertility, such as cancer treatment (effective 2020).

What insurers pay this clinic

These are rates insurers have agreed to pay the clinic. They are not your cost and are not part of the prices above.

  • CignaIVF case rate: $4,842

A negotiated rate is what the insurer has agreed to pay the clinic for a billed service, not the patient's cost; the patient's share depends on the plan's IVF benefit, deductible and coinsurance. A clinic in the insurer's network file with no IVF billing codes suggests the plan likely excludes IVF.
