Insurance and coverage

Accepted insurance

Check your own plan's IVF benefit; accepting an insurer does not mean every plan covers IVF.

Health insurers

  • Cigna
  • UnitedHealthcare

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 to $4,968

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.
