Oh now I’m ramped up. I was going through my insurance handbook to photocopy the page on infertility and took a closer look. They do not<\/i> cover IVF. (They do cover IUI.)<\/p>\n

So they just recieved an email pointing out the STATE LAWS in MA and CT – both of which mandate coverage for IVF – and asked them why they do not. I’m pretty ticked. I’m willing to bet they’re going to reply with some loophole to the state-mandated coverage. I may need to contact RESOLVE. (Oh no, I am not letting this one go.)<\/p>\n

Hopefully we will never need<\/i> IVF. But god damn it pisses me off that we have a state law and the damn insurance doesn’t follow it.<\/p>\n

According to Fertility LifeLines<\/a>, Connecticut’s mandate is a “Mandate to Offer.”<\/i> Which means insurance companies are mandated to offer it to the employer – and the employer chooses which package to purchase. So it could be that the reason for the lack of coverage is Den’s employer – who, I might add, is the Federal Government. (Den’s military – Air National Guard.) If that’s true, they will be getting some letters from me as well.<\/p>\n

On this site here<\/a> it lists Connecticut under mandated coverage, not mandate to offer. I know Connecticut has had recent changes to their mandate (in 2005) so I’m wondering if that change was recent, causing the different information. I’m going to have to call someone to figure that out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
