Survey Findings, New State Law Shine Spotlight on IVF Coverage

Only around one-quarter of large employers offer in vitro fertilization (IVF) coverage to employees, according to a recent KFF survey. But a similar survey from the benefits consulting firm WTW revealed that 67% of respondents offer such coverage.  

Despite these dueling outcomes, IVF coverage and other fertility benefits are emerging as a hot topic for employer benefits, experts say. 

KFF’s 2024 Employer Health Benefits Survey revealed that 27% of respondents from companies with 200 or more employees (considered “large employers”) offer IVF coverage, and 30% were unsure of their fertility offerings. It was the first time KFF included the question in the survey, so no data is available on how this has changed over the years.
