Read on Oct 11, 2026. The words in quotation marks are the source's own.
IVF is covered
“To be eligible for reimbursement costs related to comprehensive family-building services (doulas, milk shipping, fertility and genetic testing, fertility preservation, IVF, donor egg, sperm, and embryo services)”
Stated limit
$40,000 lifetime
One combined lifetime maximum shared by fertility treatment, surrogacy and adoption, paid as a reimbursement.
“The benefit includes a $40,000 combined lifetime maximum reimbursement for fertility treatments, surrogacy, and adoption expenses.”
Run by Carrot
Carrot administers the fertility benefit for General Motors, so it is the one to call about which clinics are in network and what needs approval first.
“GM is providing Carrot to its U.S. salaried employees and their partners, comprehensive benefits for hormonal health, fertility, and family building.”
Can part-time General Motors workers use it?
Eligibility decides whether a benefit is worth taking a job for, so this is the line to confirm before anything else.
General Motors does not say on its public pages whether part-time workers qualify (the benefit is described for US salaried employees and their partners).
You have to be enrolled in a General Motors medical plan to use the benefit, so its premiums and deductible are part of what the coverage costs you.

The limit beside what IVF costs
A benefit limit means little until it sits next to the price of a cycle.
General Motors: stated limit
$40,000 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
- $40,000 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 General Motors 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 General Motors chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
