IVF is covered
“Fertility Treatments Covered Under Your Progyny Benefit: IVF Fresh Cycle”
Aetna and UHC plan members
3 Smart Cycles
Per family, for life. Kaiser members get fertility coverage through the Kaiser plan instead.
“of fertility experts. Your coverage includes three Smart Cycles for a variety of treatments, including egg freezing and frozen-embryo transfer.”
Run by Progyny
Progyny administers the fertility benefit for Salesforce, so it is the one to call about which clinics are in network and what needs approval first.
“Progyny's fertility specialists can help you grow your family–no matter your path to parenthood.”
Egg freezing
Salesforce says egg freezing is covered.
“of fertility experts. Your coverage includes three Smart Cycles for a variety of treatments, including egg freezing and frozen-embryo transfer.”
Adoption and surrogacy
Salesforce says employees and their spouse or domestic partner can be reimbursed up to $40,000 for surrogacy or adoption expenses.
“Employees and their spouse or domestic partner are eligible for up to $40,000 USD in reimbursement for surrogacy or adoption expenses.”
Can part-time Salesforce 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 can qualify: US full-time and part-time employees working 20 or more hours a week are eligible for Salesforce benefits.
You have to be enrolled in a Salesforce medical plan to use the benefit, so its premiums and deductible are part of what the coverage costs you.
“Salesforce benefits if you are a U.S. full-time or part-time employee working 20 hours or more per week”
“To be eligible for Progyny benefits you must be enrolled in an eligible medical plan through your employer.”
The limit beside what IVF costs
A benefit limit means little until it sits next to the price of a cycle.
Salesforce: stated limit
3 Smart Cycles
US: one cycle all in
$25,000–$32,000
With medications ($3,000–$7,000) and the common add-ons. How it adds up
- Aetna and UHC plan members: 3 Smart Cycles is 3 IVF cycles with the embryos frozen plus 3 frozen embryo transfers, or another mix that adds up to 3.
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. A Smart Cycle is the unit Progyny counts its benefit in: the services, tests and medications for one type of treatment are bundled and given a Smart Cycle value. By Progyny's own examples, one ivf cycle with a fresh embryo transfer uses 3/4, one ivf cycle with the embryos frozen uses 3/4, one frozen embryo transfer uses 1/4, one iui uses 1/4.

Six things to ask Salesforce 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 Salesforce chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
