Navigating infertility treatment can be overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re seeking treatment for a medical condition or need help conceiving, the fertility journey is often complex.<\/p>\n

The acronyms alone can feel like an entirely new language: intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), egg retrieval (ER)\u2026 Then add on top the emotional highs and lows of the family planning process, and it\u2019s easy to see how fertility patients can feel bogged down.<\/p>\n

Healthcare costs and insurance coverage can add yet another layer of complexity to the process. But we want you to know you don\u2019t have to figure it out all on your own.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re considering using fertility services, a good first step is to call your insurance carrier. They\u2019ll be able to tell you what kind of fertility coverage is available under your health plan. Some employers provide additional benefits for adoption and surrogacy, so be sure to check with your company\u2019s human resources department, as well.<\/p>\n

It may help to think of this as an information-gathering phase. You likely have a lot of questions, and we want to help you find the answers you need to plan your next steps.<\/p>\n

What benefits do you have?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) member, you can find your benefit booklet by logging in to Blue Connect<\/a>. Look for the section titled Family Planning. Under Infertility Services, you\u2019ll see a list of services your insurance policy covers. Remember: Even if fertility services are covered by your plan, you will still have to meet your annual deductible and out-of-pocket expenses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always a good idea to call your insurance company to learn more about your benefits. You can find the benefits phone number on the back of your card.<\/p>\n
