Does Chevron cover IVF?
What Chevron publishes about fertility benefits for its US employees, in its own words, with the page each statement is on.
- Re-checked quarterly · checked Oct 30, 2026
Yes. Chevron says it covers IVF for eligible US employees, up to a $60,000 lifetime maximum. Chevron does not say on its public pages whether part-time workers qualify (the fertility benefit is for participants in the Chevron Medical PPO Plan, HDHP or HDHP Basic). The benefit is run by WINFertility. The IVF wording is from Chevron's plan amendment that its benefits site still links for the Anthem plans. The $60,000 figure is from WINFertility's page for Chevron employees.
What Chevron says it covers
Read on Oct 30, 2026. The words in quotation marks are the source's own.
IVF is covered
“The following services to facilitate a pregnancy are covered by the plan and are subject to an aggregate $60,000 per person lifetime maximum benefit: In vitro fertilization. Embryo transfer.”
Members of Chevron's Anthem medical plans (Medical PPO, HDHP and HDHP Basic)
$60,000 lifetime
Per person, for life, for fertility treatment and fertility medications together.
“A lifetime maximum benefit of $60,000 toward eligible expenses related to fertility treatment and fertility medications.”
Run by WINFertility
WINFertility administers the fertility benefit for Chevron, so it is the one to call about which clinics are in network and what needs approval first.
“If you participate in the Chevron Medical PPO Plan, the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) or the High Deductible Health Plan Basic (HDHP Basic) you have access to a free family building support program with WIN Fertility (WIN).”
Egg freezing
Chevron says egg freezing is covered.
“Elective Egg/Sperm Freezing Benefit For members enrolled in the Anthem medical plan Coverage for egg and sperm freezing cycles, including 1 year of storage.”
Adoption
Chevron says it reimburses up to $20,000 of eligible adoption expenses per adoption, with no limit on the number of adoptions.
“Adoption Benefit For all eligible Chevron employees A $20,000 reimbursement toward eligible expenses associated with adoption agreements, per event with an unlimited number of events.”
Surrogacy
Chevron says it reimburses up to $20,000 for each valid surrogacy contract, for up to three contracts.
“Reimbursement is available for up to 3 completed, valid surrogacy contracts, maximum. - A maximum of $20,000 is available for each valid surrogacy contract.”
Can part-time Chevron workers use it?
Eligibility decides whether a benefit is worth taking a job for, so this is the line to confirm before anything else.
Chevron does not say on its public pages whether part-time workers qualify (the fertility benefit is for participants in the Chevron Medical PPO Plan, HDHP or HDHP Basic).
You have to be enrolled in a Chevron medical plan to use the benefit, so its premiums and deductible are part of what the coverage costs you.
“If you participate in the Chevron Medical PPO Plan, the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) or the High Deductible Health Plan Basic (HDHP Basic) you have access to a free family building support program with WIN Fertility (WIN).”
The limit beside what IVF costs
A benefit limit means little until it sits next to the price of a cycle.
Chevron: stated limit
$60,000 lifetime
US: one cycle all in
$23,000–$30,000
With medications ($3,000–$7,000) and the common add-ons. How it adds up
- Members of Chevron's Anthem medical plans (Medical PPO, HDHP and HDHP Basic): $60,000 is enough for about 2 typical cycles at those prices.
These are cash prices. A plan pays its own negotiated rates, and you still owe its deductible and coinsurance, so treat this as a rough guide.
Six things to ask Chevron before you count on it
A public benefits page is a summary. The plan document for your own plan and location is what the plan pays by.
- 1.What is the lifetime maximum, and do fertility drugs count toward it or have their own limit?
- 2.When does coverage start after my hire date, and how many hours a week do I need to keep it?
- 3.Do I need an infertility diagnosis, or prior authorization, before treatment is covered?
- 4.Which fertility clinics near me are in network, and what do I pay if mine is not?
- 5.What are the deductible, the coinsurance and the out-of-pocket maximum on the plan the benefit sits in?
- 6.Are egg freezing, donor eggs or sperm, genetic testing of embryos and embryo storage covered?
State insurance laws reach only fully-insured plans, and 67% of covered US workers are in self-funded employer plans, which set their own fertility benefits whatever the state requires. About 50% of employers with 500 or more workers now cover IVF. A large employer's plan is usually self-funded (80% of covered workers at large firms are in one), so what Chevron chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
