Fertility coverage isn’t limited to straight, cisgendered families. Know your options for LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples.
Family planning and fertility benefits for individuals and families vary by plan. Benefits may include services such as freezing sperm, eggs, and embryos. They may also include other assisted reproductive technologies, like IVF.
Please note that gender-affirming care can affect your ability to reproduce. And your eligibility for reproduction preservation or fertility benefits varies by plan. So, it’s important to understand your plan so that you know what options and benefits are available.
