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?
Re: Employers helping w/ IF treatment costs?
PCOS, Ectopic & M/C of twins October 2010, Currently TTC #2
I have a $10K lifetime cap with my insurance (which 3 IUIs pretty much plowed through) and a $25K cap with DH's insurance. But we're now OOP since we joined Shared Risk.
I also have $5K towards adoption.
I'm definitely one of the lucky ones!
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

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...
