New York has one of the strongest IVF mandates in the country
New York law requires large group plans (50+ employees) to cover 3 IVF cycles. This mandate applies statewide — including Long Island. If you have employer-sponsored insurance regulated by New York State, you likely have significant fertility coverage. Check your plan before paying out of pocket, as this can dramatically reduce your actual cost.
Note: Self-insured ERISA plans are exempt from the New York mandate. Ask your HR department whether your plan is state-regulated or self-insured.
