Does Insurance Cover IVF and Fertility Treatments in Georgia?

Fertility insurance coverage can vary significantly depending on your insurance provider and the specific plan you have. While some plans may cover diagnostics and medications, others may extend coverage to more comprehensive treatments like IUI, IVF, and other fertility procedures.

We understand that navigating these details can be overwhelming, but don’t worry – our financial team will work closely with you to review your coverage and help you understand exactly what is included in your plan. We’re here to ensure there are no surprises, so you can focus on your treatment and family-building goals.
H3: Understanding Fertility Insurance in Georgia
In Georgia, the coverage for fertility services depends on your insurance carrier and specific plan. While infertility testing and diagnosis are generally covered, treatments like IVF and egg freezing may not be fully reimbursed by insurance. However, recent updates to the state’s insurance code have expanded coverage for certain fertility preservation services.

According to the 2025 Official Code of Georgia Annotated, starting January 1, 2026, all health benefit policies issued or renewed in Georgia will be required to cover fertility preservation services for individuals who may experience iatrogenic infertility due to medically necessary treatments for cancer, sickle cell disease, or lupus. This includes:

  • Standard fertility preservation services, such as egg, sperm, embryo, and ovarian tissue cryopreservation, as well as related laboratory assessments, medications, and treatments.
  • Coverage for the storage of gametes for up to one year.
  • Exclusions: Costs associated with the storage of gametes beyond one year, age restrictions, lifetime procedure limits, and nonexperimental procedures.

This means that if a medically necessary treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, has the potential to cause infertility, your plan may cover fertility preservation to protect your ability to have children in the future.

However, it’s important to note that self-insured employers are exempt from these requirements. Our team can help you navigate the specifics of your insurance coverage and ensure you understand how these updates may impact your fertility care.

We’re committed to helping you understand your options and make the most of your benefits, so you can focus on building your family.

What Fertility Services Are Typically Covered by Insurance?

When it comes to fertility treatment, coverage can vary significantly depending on your insurance plan. However, there are several common services that are often included, depending on your provider and plan:

Commonly Covered Services:

  • Fertility evaluations and diagnostics: Comprehensive testing to assess fertility health, including hormone testing and semen analysis.
  • Ultrasounds and bloodwork: Routine monitoring to track ovulation, follicle growth, and other fertility markers.
  • Ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (IUI): Medications to stimulate ovulation and intrauterine insemination procedures to increase the chances of conception.
  • In vitro fertilization (IVF) (partial coverage): Some plans may cover a portion of IVF treatment, including monitoring, retrieval, and fertilization.
  • Fertility preservation when medically necessary: For patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy, some plans may cover egg, sperm, or embryo freezing.

Less Commonly Covered Services:

  • Elective egg freezing: Coverage is typically limited to medical necessity rather than elective procedures for preservation.
  • Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): Genetic screening of embryos to assess their health before transfer.
  • Donor gametes: Use of donor eggs or sperm for fertility treatments may not be covered.
  • Surrogacy: Fertility treatment related to surrogacy, including any associated costs, is typically not covered by most insurance plans.

Navigating what’s covered and what isn’t can be confusing, but our financial counselors are here to provide clear, personalized guidance. We’ll work with you to help you understand exactly what your insurance covers and assist you in planning your treatment accordingly.

How Much Does IVF Cost With and Without Insurance?

Understanding the cost of IVF is an important part of your fertility planning, and we’re committed to providing transparent, up-front pricing to help you make informed decisions about your care.

With Insurance:
While insurance may cover some parts of IVF treatment, such as diagnostics, monitoring, and medications, there are often out-of-pocket costs involved. Patients may still be responsible for co-pays, deductibles, or services not fully covered by their plan. Our financial counselors will work with you to break down your coverage and clarify any remaining costs, ensuring you have a complete understanding of your financial responsibility before starting treatment.

Without Insurance:
For patients paying out-of-pocket, IVF costs typically range between $13,000 and $20,000 per cycle. The price generally includes essential services such as monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer, and lab work. However, certain expenses, like medications, anesthesia, and PGT, may be excluded from the base price.

At Reproductive Biology Associates, we make it our priority to explain all costs clearly from the outset. We also offer support with financial planning and can guide you through available financing options to make IVF more accessible.
