We are with Kaiser North Cali and our experience has been so so.
In terms of IVF treatment, we get coverage for everything except the IVF itself, i.e. the blood tests and lab work are all covered by our insurance thru Kaiser. Their fertility clinic was awesome because I only dealt with doctors, I didn't have anyone else do my u/s other than my RE everytime I visited.
However I have mixed emotions about the hospital. First of all from a financial point of view it is great, we never pay for anything. I paid $0 since I started seeing my OB. If you ask the IVF clinic for a doctor referral they will tell you that everyone is great in Kaiser. You will not hear that an OB is awesome. Also, you will not have the chance to see any outside OBs unless Kaiser refers you to them. We tried but everywhere we went we were turned down.
Good luck with your choice.
