Insurance and coverage

Texas law

Texas law requires coverage of fertility preservation before treatment that can cause infertility, such as cancer treatment (effective 2024).

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
  • UnitedHealthcareSum of rates for IVF services: $1,245 to $3,949

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.
