Today I was told of some girls who had the same insurance company as me who had one IVF cycle covered up to $10,000. At lunch I decided to do some investigating only to find out no infertility treatments are covered on our plan. I also call the the prescription people but I had to have medication names and dosages to find out if they would be covered.
My work also has adoption assistance (which I completely forgot about) up to $10,000 but nothing for infertility assisstance. I hate how infertility treatments are rarely covered. It's a real medical issue and not everyone can afford it! I know there are some people out there trying to get some legislation to get all that changed. I'm sure there are many couples out there who are forced into Child-Free Living because they can't afford any infertility treatments because it's not covered by their insurance. That completely sucks and is not right!
I also decided to check out the Resolve website (www.resolve.org) again and check out the Grants/Scholarships section. I found one grant/scholarship that is currently accepting applications that I would be willing to apply to. The others either had no info for the 2012 program or needed a letter from the doctor (I am outgoing enough of a person to ask for this letter). I think I will work on filling out this application over the weekend and get it sent in ASAP. You never know...we may get it but I'm a glass half empty girl now when it comes to our fertility stuff, so I doubt it.
