Family Building program

Family Building program

For many the adoption, fertility, and surrogacy process can be complex and stressful. The benefits included within our Family Building program can help relieve some of these concerns.

Providing family building benefits can also further your organization’s DE&I (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives. This can help you attract and retain top talent.

Our Family Building program includes the following coverage:

Fertility Services and Fertility Drug Coverage

Fertility treatments are often expensive. Our Fertility Services Benefit is here to make things more affordable for plan members. This benefit will repay the plan member for eligible expenses which includes physician and lab services, genetic testing and more.

Our fertility drugs coverage can also help to alleviate some of the costs associated with a plan member's fertility journey. Most fertility drugs are part of your Extended Health Care (EHC) offering and may already be included in the list of eligible drugs.

A surrogate plays an important role in helping to start a family. As more people depend on a surrogate, the costs associated with this journey can be costly and stressful.

This benefit will repay plan members for medical expenses they incur on behalf of their surrogate, such as lab services, testing and procedures.
