What Qualcomm 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
“Qualcomm’s health plan provides a benefit of $35,000 for medical and prescription fertility coverage.”
Stated limit
$35,000 lifetime
Medical and prescription costs count toward the same limit.
“Fertility coverage has a lifetime combined (medical and prescription) limit of $35,000.”
Adoption and surrogacy
Qualcomm says it provides up to $15,000 toward some expenses of adopting a child or using a surrogate.
“Qualcomm provides financial assistance up to $15,000 towards some expenses associated with adopting a child or when using a surrogate as part of a legal surrogacy arrangement.”
Can part-time Qualcomm workers use it?
Eligibility decides whether a benefit is worth taking a job for, so this is the line to confirm before anything else.
Qualcomm 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.
Qualcomm: stated limit
$35,000 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
- $35,000 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 Qualcomm 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 Qualcomm chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
