Infertility states/bases?
Which bases mandate infertility treatments such as IVF? I've read about IL and NJ laws requiring insurance coverage, but I'm pretty much assuming there are some exemptions in the law that allow the employer to be cheap. Basically, where should I reside if I'm planning to do IVF?

It seems like you'd have instant success with this question on Google.
I didn't even know there were laws for this sort of thing. Several of my buddies paid ridiculous money for IVF. Most were successful at least.
Good luck.

It's sort of like all the people who commute to LAX who don't have to pay California income tax since it isn't really their state of residence and they do the majority of their flying out of the state.
I think you are going to have to look at the insurance coverage options actually offered by the company you are working for per the union contract.

Now, when I need to take FMLA, that's controlled where you work... So I get to benefit from the new NY rules.
Confusing and dumb, but... that being said, we ended paying out of pocket. And we're currently prego with our first. Good luck!

I can't answer this question with Google. Accolade can only discuss my current plan in my current residence, which has no fertility mandate. I need the scoop from people who actually work for United now, live in states such as NJ or IL, and have explored treatment options with their insurance.
