Changes to our Surrogacy and Adoption benefits

November 23, 2023

We know the journey to start or expand their family can be stressful and costly for plan members. That’s why we’ve made some changes to our Surrogacy and Adoption benefits. The updates will provide a better plan member experience and make these benefits easier to use. 

Here’s an overview of the updates:

  • Our Fertility Services benefit will now include coverage for surrogacy-related medical expenses.
  • Our existing Surrogacy Medical benefit will no longer be available as a standalone product.
  • Our existing Surrogacy Non-Medical (wellness) coverage will now be called Supplemental Surrogacy. This allows us to cover an expanded list of eligible expenses.
  • You’ll need to have our Fertility Services benefit (including Surrogacy Medical) to offer the Supplemental Surrogacy benefit to plan members.
  • We've expanded the list of eligible expenses for our updated Adoption benefit.

Including coverage for these types of benefits shows plans members you care. It also helps retain top talent and meet the unique needs of a diverse workforce.
