Reproductive Technology -Policy and Advocacy: describing policies governing the receipt and/or delivery of infertility treatment in your U.S. state of residence
$5.00
For your Session Long Project, choose one of the following two options:
Option #1 – Policy and Advocacy
This option entails describing policies governing the receipt and/or delivery of infertility treatment in your U.S. state of residence; identifying stakeholders “weighing in” on this issue; assessing demand for infertility treatment services among state residents; and characterizing access to these services in your state.
Option One Task:
Visit the Resolve: The National Infertility Association web site (www.resolve.org) to determine whether your state mandates infertility treatment coverage in health insurance plans offered to its residents. (NOTE: In some states, insurance companies are only required to offer riders for infertility treatment, and employers can choose whether or not to make these services available to their employees.) If applicable, what specific infertility treatment services are covered, and which ones are excluded from this mandate? What alternatives exist for persons, both with and without health insurance, who wish to receive infertility treatment? Please limit your response to 1 page.
