What T-Mobile says it covers
Read on Oct 11, 2026. The words in quotation marks are the source's own.
IVF is covered
“Your Progyny benefit offers a lifetime benefit of three (3) Smart Cycles of treatment per family. Treatments covered within the Smart Cycles include: IVF cycles. Surrogacy embryology services. Fertility preservation (egg and sperm freezing). Purchase of donor tissue.”
T-Mobile's family building page
3 Smart Cycles
Per family, for life.
“Your Progyny benefit offers a lifetime benefit of three (3) Smart Cycles of treatment per family.”
Progyny's 2025 member guide for T-Mobile
2 Smart Cycles
T-Mobile's two documents disagree: its benefits page says three Smart Cycles, the 2025 member guide it links to says two. Ask Progyny which applies to you.
“2 Smart Cycles per family per lifetime”
Run by Progyny
Progyny administers the fertility benefit for T-Mobile, so it is the one to call about which clinics are in network and what needs approval first.
“Family building benefits for infertility are available through Progyny for employees and spouses, or domestic partners, enrolled in a T-Mobile medical plan.”
Egg freezing
T-Mobile says egg freezing is covered.
“Fertility preservation (egg and sperm freezing).”
Adoption and surrogacy
T-Mobile says it offers up to $30,000 per child in adoption and surrogacy assistance.
“T-Mobile offers up to $30,000 per child in adoption and surrogacy assistance for eligible employees.”
Can part-time T-Mobile 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: the benefit is offered to regular and part-time employees enrolled in a T-Mobile medical plan, from the first of the month after 30 days of employment.
You have to be enrolled in a T-Mobile medical plan to use the benefit, so its premiums and deductible are part of what the coverage costs you.
“This benefit is offered to regular and part-time employees and their eligible family members (spouses and domestic partners) enrolled in a T-Mobile medical plan administered by UHC, Premera or Surest.”
“Employees become eligible to participate on the first of the month following 30 days of employment.”
The limit beside what IVF costs
A benefit limit means little until it sits next to the price of a cycle.
T-Mobile: stated limit
3 Smart Cycles
The first of 2 stated limits
US: one cycle all in
$25,000–$32,000
With medications ($3,000–$7,000) and the common add-ons. How it adds up
- T-Mobile's family building page: 3 Smart Cycles is 3 IVF cycles with the embryos frozen plus 3 frozen embryo transfers, or another mix that adds up to 3.
- Progyny's 2025 member guide for T-Mobile: 2 Smart Cycles is 2 IVF cycles with the embryos frozen plus 2 frozen embryo transfers, or another mix that adds up to 2.
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 T-Mobile 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 T-Mobile chooses to cover matters more than your state's IVF insurance law.
