Capabilities

Tools 10

clinics_taking_a_plan

The insurers and fertility benefits (Progyny, Carrot, WINFertility, Maven, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and others) US fertility clinics name on their own websites as in network or accepted, for one state, optionally only the clinics that name one plan. Each answer gives the clinic's own words, its page and the date it was read. A plan a clinic takes can still leave IVF out: the plan's own fertility benefit decides that.

Discovered
employer_ivf_coverage

Whether a US employer's own benefit documents say it covers IVF or fertility treatment, with the dollar or cycle limit, who runs the benefit, and a verbatim quote and link to the document. Covers the large employers IVFcost.co has read; says so when an employer publishes nothing.

Discovered
estimate_ivf_cost

A US IVF cost estimate built only from cited line items (the base cycle, medications, anesthesia, embryo freezing, a frozen transfer, genetic testing and other add-ons), with a low, typical and high figure per cycle and for several cycles, and the source of each line.

Discovered
fertility_clinic_doctors

The doctors US fertility clinics list on their own websites, by name exactly as the clinic writes it, with the role it gives each, the page and the date it was read. Give a state (optionally a city) for every clinic there that lists its doctors, or a doctor's name to find the clinic whose site lists that doctor. Doctors move between practices: the date says when the clinic's page was read.

Discovered
fertility_test_prices

Self-pay prices of the tests a fertility workup or a cycle uses, each from the seller's own page: AMH (egg supply) tests including lab blood tests ordered online, at-home semen tests (with what clinics and labs post for a lab semen analysis), LH ovulation tests or hCG pregnancy tests. Lowest price first, with what each measures.

Discovered
find_ivf_clinic_prices

The self-pay IVF cycle prices that US fertility clinics post on their own websites, for one state (optionally one city), with what each price includes, the clinic's own page as the source, and the date it was read. Clinics are listed by name, not ranked. Many clinics post no price; the answer says how many do.

Discovered
ivf_bmi_limits

The highest BMI US fertility clinics say on their own websites they accept for IVF or egg retrieval, each quoted with its page and the date read, with ASRM's position that no society-wide cutoff is justified and what the Wegovy and Zepbound labels say about stopping before pregnancy.

Discovered
ivf_grants_open_now

US IVF and fertility grant programs that take applications today, open year-round, or open soon, each with its award, application fee, who can apply and its current window and deadline as the program posts it. Optionally only grants open to residents of one state.

Discovered
ivf_insurance_rules

Whether a US state's law requires health plans to cover IVF, infertility treatment or fertility preservation, what the law requires as RESOLVE summarizes it, the statute, and which plans a state law cannot reach (self-funded employer plans).

Discovered
sterilization_reversal_vs_ivf

What US practices post on their own websites for a tubal ligation reversal or a vasectomy reversal (and, for vasectomy, a surgical sperm retrieval), each quoted with its page, beside one IVF cycle's cited cost, with what ASRM (tubal) or the AUA/ASRM guideline (vasectomy) says decides between reversal and IVF.
