Hi all,
Need some suggestions. I and my wife are starting the IVF process and we received a quote of 10k for a full IVF cycle from the fertility clinic. They also confirmed that the entire 10k is covered by the 50k plan which EY supports. So I want know should we still pay out of pockets for the medications or use the rest of the 50k plan for medication? Any suggestion is helpful. Also how much does it costs for medication out of pocket ?

Do NOT pay for the drugs using the $50k - pay out of pocket; you do not know how many cycles you will need/want, so you want to “save” as much of $50k as possible.

I agree on the medications. They wont reimburse if the meds are out of network, but you can find out of network drugs way cheaper than what CVS Specialty charges (which you still pay $200 copay for the specialty drugs), and then it doesn’t eat up that cost. Also make sure you’re on the lowest deductible plan because you will still need to pay out of pocket for the deductible. It’s a very generous and useful benefit, but there are definitely ways to take advantage for optimal savings.

I would add - make sure to find the best healthcare provider, not the best “quote.”

If we want to use the $50k We are obligated to use the specific clinics that are covered by planned parenthood program and all those clinics are good since they've been screened for their center of excellence
