On Sunday, September 29, 2024, California state governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill regarding IVF insurance in the state. The bill, which goes into effect in 2025, will require infertility treatment coverage for regulated large-group companies.

The bill would mandate the creation of a health plan that covers the full range of infertility treatments for all large-group employers in the state. IVF treatment often costs over $15,000 in California, making it very expensive for many residents. However, the option will not apply to every California resident.

Does Insurance cover IVF in California? 

On Sunday, September 29, Newsom released a statement after signing State Senate Bill 729 into law. He said, “California is a proud reproductive-freedom state—and that includes increasing access to fertility services that help those who want to start a family.”

Although the current state law regarding fertility treatment mandates group insurers to cover reproductive care, it does not cover IVF. Despite the approval rating the bill has generated, some conservative groups have reservations.

According to the California Family Council, their disapproval stems in part from the bill applying to same-sex couples. The previous bill, which has stood for over three decades, saw multiple amendment attempts between 2019 and 2024.

Between 2019 and 2024, the California legislature made four failed attempts to broaden infertility treatment. After three failed attempts, Bill 729 was successful after excluding Medi-Cal, individual markets, and small plans.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, regulations requiring certain health insurance to cover at least some infertility treatments are in effect in fifteen states. However, as of 2024, Colorado remains the only state that mandates insurance for age-related infertility diagnosis, treatment, and fertility preservation.

“Natural IVF” costs between $3,000 and $6,000, according to Pacific Fertility Center. This type of IVF collects eggs in sync with a woman’s regular menstrual cycle without the need for medication.

Which Insurance Covers IVF in California? 

According to the California IVF Fertility Center, understanding your insurance rights and options could greatly improve your IVF treatment options. Many insurance companies offer coverage for fertility testing and treatment. However, understanding how insurance works can be quite time-consuming and frustrating.

Infertility treatment typically makes this issue worse. Insurance companies may offer programs that include benefits for infertility. However, these benefits may vary based on the terms of the group contract or the medical group that an individual has chosen.

You can start looking into your possible advantages by using some of the advice in this article. Additionally, you should be aware of any restrictions on your benefits and any required co-payments. Consult a fertility center to determine the best insurance policy for you and your partner.

A good insurance company for IVF treatment is US-based health insurance company Elevance Health, Inc. Through connected businesses such as Anthem Blue Cross in California, Elevance Health offers a host of health insurance programs.

These services cover areas of medical, pharmaceutical, dental, behavioral health, reproductive, long-term care, and disability programs.

What Is the Cheapest State for IVF?

The lowest-priced IVF cycles nationwide begin at around $5,000 per cycle, covering ICSI and anesthesia at CNY Fertility in Colorado and New York. The wait may be longer due to the clinic’s high volume of patients. Additionally, CNY provides remote monitoring for patients who are out of state.

However, the lowest-cost IVF cycles are at West Coast Fertility Center in Orange County, ranging from $5,000 to $7,000. Additionally, the clinics provide package discounts for several IVF cycles.
