Employers helping w/ IF treatment costs?

I was reading on the adoption board that some employer help their employees (offer reimb) w/ the adoption process.  Now I'm curious if companies offere assistance w/ the cost of IF. 

I just started at my company so I don't want to run down and ask HR, but maybe they do and I don't even know it!  I know they are suppose to be confidential, but at a previous job, the HR Mgr was far from it!

So, question, do any of your jobs help w/ costs, besides insurance coverage?

  • No. They have IF insurance coverage, which I'm sure to them means they help with costs.

     

  • We have no IF coverage under either insurance by DH gets up to 5,000 towards adoption. I do have an employer funded HSA so we got 3,000 from that but all IF costs come out of that money and then some...

  • I know some bigger companies do but I don't think its as common as adoption coverage. My insuance covers the costs of IF though so I haven't looked into it.
