Trying to find IVF Benefits in Texas

[kent411]

Hi am new to this forum and wanted to know if any one lives in Texas and is aware of jobs that may have Ivf benefit coverage. Or is there any one out there in my situation and can relate to my situation. I do not have any fallopian tubes and I cannot get pregnant unless I do ivf . We had it done once and it did not take. I did that procedure when I was abouy 34 and now I am 38 and we are looking into doing the procedure again. We can not adopt because my husband had a juvenile past and has a criminal back ground from that. So, adoption and foster care is out of the question. I want to know if any others have fund their ivf and how did you come up with the money. I can not get a loan also right now. I looked into the cost and its about $12,000 for us to do it again and $18,000 for my sister to carry for us. Can anyone give me any ideas or information?

In Texas the law states that insurance Co's must offer ivf coverage but employers do not have to accept it.  So, most jobs that offer insurance do not cover ivf.  I work on a state job in TX and have no infertility coverage at all.

I am sorry you are going through this...

Do you have a Bank America, Chase Bank  or Vanguard in texas.  I am pretty sure they offer infertility benefits.

Hi gokuangel how do I find out more information about ivf in mexico. $4000 is a lot cheaper than $12,000 for the procedure here in Texas.

Our state is mandated but MOST insurance still does not cover anything "artificial"!  I used to have very good insurance with Cingular (aka AT&T) and they said they covered everything test wise and RX wise but NO artificial NOTHING!! I'm not saying theres none just saying how my old insurance was!

I was just reading and trying to find insurance companies that offer this. Texas has a law that work places that have a certain amount of employees (state mandated) to offer employees insurance go to this web sight and read a little more. I live in fla so its not mandated here.  Hope this helps.

I live in TX but i do not know of any jobs that will pay for it! Have you gave any thought at all to going to Mexico? It cost half of what it does here about 4,000.$$!!
