Insurance and coverage

Illinois law

Illinois requires many insurers to cover IVF (law effective 1991) -- up to 6 egg retrievals (4 + 2 after live birth).

Illinois law requires coverage of fertility preservation before treatment that can cause infertility, such as cancer treatment (effective 2019).

Citation: 215 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/356z.32 (HB 2617, added to the 215 ILCS 5/356m Family Building Act mandate)

Accepted insurance

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

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: $7,212 to $10,156

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.
