Conceive's Top 50 Companies for IVF Benefits
Conceive magazine generates a yearly list of the top 50 companies for those looking for IF treatments or adoption.
8 IVF cycles later, I declare myself a self appointed expert on what it takes to do a serious number of cycles. Most clinics get paid about $5K for the average cycle (some less). This means a $15K IVF benefit will get you approximately 3 IVF cycles. Drug benefits are another story. My cycles have typically averaged about $8-9K each in drug benefit - I blew through a $25K drug benefit over the course of 4 IVF cycles (I have lots of meds left over, but still!) So a $10K drug benefit may last you 1 to 1.5 cycles AT MOST, well, unless you're doing very low stims. I'm on 450iu/day gonal-F + 2 amps of menopur/day. Your mileage may vary.

post a commentThat's so awesome that some good companies actually provide IF coverage. We paid for all of our 8 cycles out of pocket. My husband's law firm is not one of the generous ones.
Dear god, that's a lot of money to fork over. My ex and I paid for 3 cycles and 1 FET (and the meds). The last 5 have been paid for by insurance (thank god).
It's amazing how small companies like Kozy Shack have unlimited IVF and meds. I mean, WTF? How is it that they can afford this great insurance for their workers but huge assed Silicon Valley companies oftentimes don't? It slays me that there is such inequity among companies and their benefits.
What are you a mind reader? I was just wondering how one brings this up in the interview process... Nice one.
