What NewYork-Presbyterian says it covers
Read on Oct 30, 2026. The words in quotation marks are the source's own.
Fertility treatment is covered; IVF is not named
“Access a broad network of professionals, including Aetna’s fertility specialists, and lifetime support up to $30,000* that can also be used for fertility preservation”
NYP's Aetna POS plan
$30,000 lifetime
Per person, for life. NYP's Aetna EPO plan has the same maximum but covers assisted reproduction only when infertility results from other medical treatment. Fertility drugs are covered separately through CVS Caremark and do not count toward the maximum.
“Maximum per lifetime* $30,000”
Run by Aetna
Aetna administers the fertility benefit for NewYork-Presbyterian, so it is the one to call about which clinics are in network and what needs approval first.
“The first step to using your comprehensive infertility health care services is enrolling with Aetna's National Infertility Unit (NIU).”
Egg freezing
NewYork-Presbyterian says egg freezing is covered.
“Please note that under the POS plan, egg extraction is an eligible expense when performed at a qualified location”
Adoption
NYP says its Adoption Assistance Program reimburses up to $15,000 a year per adoption attempt, with a $30,000 lifetime maximum.
“When supported by a legal adoption agreement, the NYP Adoption Assistance Program provides reimbursement for qualified adoption-related expenses, up to $15,000 per year per adoption attempt, with a lifetime maximum of $30,000 for adoption attempts.”
Surrogacy
NYP says its Surrogacy Assistance Program reimburses up to $15,000 per surrogacy attempt a year, with a $30,000 lifetime maximum.
“When supported by a legal surrogacy agreement, the NYP Surrogacy Assistance Program provides reimbursement for qualified surrogacy related expenses, up to $15,000 per surrogacy attempt per year, with a $30,000 lifetime maximum for successful surrogacy attempts.”
Can part-time NewYork-Presbyterian workers use it?
Eligibility decides whether a benefit is worth taking a job for, so this is the line to confirm before anything else.
NewYork-Presbyterian does not say on its public pages whether part-time workers qualify.
The limit beside what IVF costs
A benefit limit means little until it sits next to the price of a cycle.
NewYork-Presbyterian: 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
- NYP's Aetna POS plan: $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 NewYork-Presbyterian 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 NewYork-Presbyterian chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
