IVF is covered
“Assisted reproduction (i.e., in vitro fertilization)”
Employees enrolled in a DuPont Medical Plan, through Carrot
$30,000 lifetime
One family lifetime maximum shared by fertility, adoption and surrogacy, reimbursed at 100% of eligible expenses.
“When you use Carrot’s services, DuPont will reimburse 100% of eligible expenses, up to a combined $30,000 family lifetime maximum.”
Run by Carrot
Carrot administers the fertility benefit for DuPont, so it is the one to call about which clinics are in network and what needs approval first.
“We offer Carrot to assist with fertility, adoption, and surrogacy.”
Egg freezing
DuPont says egg freezing is covered.
“Preservation (i.e., egg, sperm, embryo)”
Can part-time DuPont workers use it?
Eligibility decides whether a benefit is worth taking a job for, so this is the line to confirm before anything else.
DuPont does not say on its public pages whether part-time workers qualify (DuPont benefits are offered to regular, full-service employees working 20 or more hours a week, and the fertility benefit is for employees enrolled in a DuPont Medical Plan).
You have to be enrolled in a DuPont medical plan to use the benefit, so its premiums and deductible are part of what the coverage costs you.
“DuPont benefits are offered to all regular, full-service employees working 20 or more hours per week.”
“We’ve partnered with Carrot Fertility to bring employees enrolled in a DuPont Medical Plan comprehensive, inclusive fertility healthcare and family-forming benefits”
The limit beside what IVF costs
A benefit limit means little until it sits next to the price of a cycle.
DuPont: stated limit
$30,000 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
- Employees enrolled in a DuPont Medical Plan, through Carrot: $30,000 is enough for about 1 typical cycle 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 DuPont 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 DuPont chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
