Depending on the plan, insurance coverage for IVF can vary widely. Certain insurance plans may not cover IVF at all, or they may have major limitations or exclusions.
Couples living in rural areas or other areas without nearby fertility facilities may have limited access to IVF treatment. Because of this, travelling for treatment may be challenging or expensive.
IVF treatment may require certain medical criteria to be met, such as a certain level of ovarian reserve or a certain body mass index (BMI). If a couple does not meet these requirements, they may be unable to receive IVF therapy.
Couples may experience emotional stress while undergoing IVF treatment. This stress can be compounded by the above barriers, which can create additional financial or logistical stress.
