Does Insurance Cover IVF and Fertility Treatments in Tennessee?

Insurance coverage for fertility care can vary widely depending on your plan and provider. Some insurance plans may cover diagnostic testing and medication, while others may offer partial or full coverage for procedures like IVF or IUI.

At TFI, our experienced financial coordinators take the guesswork out of the process. We work directly with your insurance company to determine what is and isn’t covered, helping you understand how to move forward based on your unique situation.

Understanding Fertility Insurance in Tennessee

Tennessee does not currently have a state mandate requiring insurance companies to cover fertility treatment. However, many patients still have some level of fertility coverage depending on their specific insurance plan, particularly for initial diagnostic evaluations or medically necessary services. Because benefits vary so widely, our team at TFI works closely with each patient to assess what’s available and advocate for the coverage you deserve.

What Fertility Services Are Typically Covered by Insurance?

While coverage varies, many insurance plans offer some level of benefits for the following services:

  • Initial fertility evaluations and diagnostic testing

  • Ultrasounds and bloodwork

  • Ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (IUI)

  • In vitro fertilization (IVF); coverage may be partial and exclude medications or lab fees

  • Fertility preservation due to medical necessity (e.g., cancer treatment)

Services less commonly covered include:

Our team will walk you through what your plan covers and provide transparent guidance for any uncovered services.



How Much Does IVF Cost With and Without Insurance?

Understanding the cost of IVF is an important part of your fertility planning. At Tennessee Fertility Institute, we offer transparent, up-front pricing so you can make informed decisions whether you have insurance or not.

  • With insurance: If your plan covers IVF, it may reduce the costs of specific services like diagnostic testing, monitoring, or medication. However, you may still be responsible for co-pays, deductibles, or non-covered components of care.

  • Without insurance: On average, a single IVF cycle can cost anywhere from $13,000 to $20,000, depending on your treatment plan. This amount typically includes monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer, and lab work, but may not include medications, anesthesia, or PGT. At TFI, our IVF prices for individuals without fertility care insurance coverage start at $12,950 without PGT-A and $19,450 with PGT-A. Both of these options include ultrasounds, blood monitoring, retrieval, insemination (ICSI), embryo culture, embryo biopsy, cryopreservation of embryos, and one year of storage.

At TFI, we’re committed to transparency. We’ll walk you through the cost breakdown, help you understand your financial responsibility, and connect you with financing options if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fertility Insurance

  • IVF coverage in Tennessee depends entirely on your insurance provider and plan. The state does not mandate fertility insurance coverage, so whether IVF is included varies case by case. Some plans may cover diagnostics but not the IVF procedure itself. At Tennessee Fertility Institute, our experienced financial coordinators will review your specific policy, contact your provider directly, and help you understand exactly what is and isn’t covered before treatment begins.

  • If your insurance includes fertility coverage, it can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs for IVF. Covered expenses may include ultrasounds, lab work, medications, or embryo transfer. However, you may still be responsible for deductibles, co-pays, and services not included in your plan. Our team at TFI works with your insurer to identify covered services, estimate your total cost, and ensure you’re fully informed about any remaining expenses before treatment begins.

  • Nationally, the average cost of a single IVF cycle ranges from $12,000 to $20,000, often excluding medications and additional services. At Tennessee Fertility Institute, we strive to offer transparent and affordable options. Our IVF cycles start at $12,950 for IVF without PGT-A and $19,450 for IVF with PGT-A, both encompassing key services such as ultrasounds, blood monitoring, egg retrieval, ICSI, embryo culture, cryopreservation of embryos, and one year of storage.

  • Coverage for egg freezing depends on whether it’s considered elective or medically necessary. Elective egg freezing, done for future family planning, is rarely covered by insurance. However, if you’re freezing eggs due to a medical condition like cancer or before starting chemotherapy, some insurance plans may provide partial or full coverage. At TFI, we’ll review your plan, determine what’s included, and help you understand your financial options for egg freezing.

  • Many insurance plans exclude IVF coverage after voluntary sterilization procedures like tubal ligation. However, every plan is different. Some may still offer coverage for diagnostic testing or parts of the IVF cycle, such as medications or embryo transfer. The team at Tennessee Fertility Institute can help determine whether your plan includes any benefits in these cases and advise you on your next steps based on your coverage.

  • As with tubal ligation, insurance coverage after a vasectomy is limited under many plans. However, certain elements of IVF—such as sperm retrieval, monitoring, or medications—may still be covered depending on your policy. Our insurance experts at TFI will work directly with your provider to review your benefits, clarify what’s included, and help you build a treatment plan that fits your circumstances.

  • Coverage for LGBTQ+ family building is improving, but it still varies widely by insurance provider. Some plans offer inclusive fertility benefits that cover IVF, donor sperm or eggs, and embryo transfer. Others may require a diagnosis of infertility, which can create barriers. At Tennessee Fertility Institute, we advocate for inclusive care and will work with your insurance provider to explore all possible avenues of coverage for same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ individuals.

  • Fertility medications can be a significant part of your IVF costs, and insurance coverage for them varies by plan. Some policies offer partial or full coverage for common medications, while others may not include them at all. Our team will review your pharmacy benefits, confirm your medication coverage, and help you plan for any out-of-pocket costs related to prescriptions during your fertility treatment.

  • If your insurance plan includes coverage for fertility services, those costs typically count toward your deductible. This means services like diagnostic testing, IVF procedures, or medications may help you meet your deductible more quickly. Our financial team will review your plan in detail and explain how your deductible applies, so you can understand what you’ll owe and when throughout your fertility journey.
