IVF and Insurance in Illinois?

September 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Question by Ohio: IVF and Insurance in Illinois?
I have different offers to work with big national engineering firms in Chicago, Illinois.
(1) However, I would like to know if the health insurance/plans of these companies include the IVF/ICSI coverage. How can I do that before I get hired? I think if I call the insurance company they will ask about the policy number and my ID number (which I do not have until I get hired).
(2) Big companies may have more than 3,000 employees nationally but in one office or state they may have less than 25 people. Does this disqualify them from being included in the IVF insurance mandate in Illinois?
Thanks.

Answer by kendra
it is now a law in illinois that employers have to carry infertility ins. and it does include ivf. i am in illinois and going through ivf right now. if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. Illinois

This law requires insurance policies that cover more than 25 people to cover costs of the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. The law defines infertility as the inability to get pregnant after one year of unprotected sex or the inability to carry a pregnancy.

Coverage includes, but is not limited to:
* In vitro fertilization (IVF); Uterine embryo lavage; Embryo transfer;
* Artificial insemination;
* Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT);
* Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT);
* Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI);
* Four completed egg retrievals per lifetime; and
* Low tubal egg transfer.

Coverage for IVF, GIFT and ZIFT is required only if:
* The patient has used all reasonable, less expensive and medically appropriate treatments and is still unable to get pregnant or carry a pregnancy;
* The patient has not reached the maximum number of allowed egg retrievals;
* The procedures are performed at facilities that conform to standards set by the America Society for Reproductive Medicine or the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

The law exempts religious organizations which believe the covered procedures violate their teachings and beliefs.

(Illinois Compiled Statutes Annotated, Chapter 215, Sections 5/356m and 125/5-3).

Dr. Randy Morris and His Center’s Embryo Donation Program Featured on NBC5 News in Chicago, Illinois

January 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Naperville, IL (PRWEB) February 21, 2008

NBC5 News in Chicago, Illinois featured a special report on the growing trend of embryo donation by couples that have undergone in vitro fertilization and are left with unused embryos. While many embryos remain frozen with an uncertain future, some couples have opted to donate their extra embryos to needy couples and women who are unable to conceive naturally or with in vitro fertilization. The story on NBC5 News features an interview with Dr. Randy Morris of IVF1, a Chicago area in vitro fertilization center.

During the news story, Dr. Morris discusses the benefits of embryo donation and how the program at his fertility treatment center, IVF1, works. After couples undergo in vitro infertility treatment and have donated the leftover embryos, potential recipient couples get to sort through the histories of the donors they are presented with, including the donor’s education, physical characteristics, ethnic background, and medical history, although the identity of the donor remains anonymous. This allows the patient to select embryos with a likelihood of having the characteristics desired in a child.

Dr. Morris does discuss the possibility of problems associated with the anonymity of embryo donation during the process, although he dismisses it as highly unlikely to cause any unforeseen issues. This is in response to the recent news about twins separated at birth who later in life met, fell in love, and were married only to discover later on that they were, in fact, twin brother and sister. Dr. Morris’ response is that with the small number of cases of embryo donation, this is an unlikely event that should not be a concern for infertile couples.
