Chewy says it covers fertility treatment for eligible US employees, up to a $20,000 lifetime maximum, but its public pages do not name IVF. Part-time workers do not qualify: the fertility reimbursement is for full-time team members, working 30 or more hours a week, enrolled in a Chewy medical plan. The benefit is run by WINFertility.
What Chewy says it covers
Read on Oct 11, 2026. The words in quotation marks are the source's own.
Fertility treatment is covered; IVF is not named
“Coverage for certain eligible expenses related to fertility treatment and related fertility medications.”
Stated limit
$20,000 lifetime
One combined lifetime maximum for fertility treatment and medications, egg and sperm freezing, adoption and surrogacy, through WINFertility.
“Eligible Chewy Team Members are provided a combined $20,000 lifetime maximum toward the following benefits:”
Run by WINFertility
WINFertility administers the fertility benefit for Chewy, so it is the one to call about which clinics are in network and what needs approval first.
“In partnership with Chewy, WIN is here to support you with comprehensive family-building and family well-being benefits.”
Egg freezing
Chewy says egg freezing is covered.
“Coverage for elective egg and sperm freezing cycles, including 1 year of storage.”
Can part-time Chewy workers use it?
Eligibility decides whether a benefit is worth taking a job for, so this is the line to confirm before anything else.
Part-time workers do not qualify: the fertility reimbursement is for full-time team members, working 30 or more hours a week, enrolled in a Chewy medical plan.
You have to be enrolled in a Chewy medical plan to use the benefit, so its premiums and deductible are part of what the coverage costs you.
“Fertility-Related Services Reimbursement Available to all full-time benefits-eligible Team Members who are enrolled in a Chewy Medical plan, beginning on the first of the month following date of hire.”
“a Team Member who works 30 hours per week or more.”
The limit beside what IVF costs
A benefit limit means little until it sits next to the price of a cycle.
Chewy: stated limit
$20,000 lifetime
US: one cycle all in
$25,000–$32,000
With medications ($3,000–$7,000) and the common add-ons. How it adds up
- $20,000 is less than one typical cycle, so expect to pay the rest yourself.
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 Chewy 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 Chewy chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
