Financing with IVF treatment

Hello, everyone! I am a military spouse and my husband works for the US Army. We just had our HSG and results looks as if my FT are both blocked...Is there anyone in the forum knows if Tricare will cover for IVF expenses in case this will be recommended to me? Can you suggest the best insurance policy that covers 100% fertility treatment? thank you so much!

Hello and welcome to the site.

There was a thread about a week ago on financing ideas, try a search and you should find it. I know we have several military couples on the site who should be able to help you with the military options. I think there is a waiting list for IVF for Tricare.

I don’t think there are any policies that cover fertility treatments fully that are not through an employer.

When my husband was in the Navy, Tricare told me that they did not cover IVF. However, that was 2-3 years ago. You can call Tricare directly to see if they change their policy.

Smile hope this info helps

sorry but tricare doesn't pay for ivf treatments but it does cover for any meds that you may need for ivf treatments on the outside. However I did do some research on ivf for military families and came across Walter Reed Army Medical Center. They do however take tricare because its a military facility and do however do ivf treatments and so forth..........

hope this info helps. check it out

Welcome to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center

Hi

All the meds are supplied through Walter Reed and it actually is not WR that does the sessions it is IVF Washington dc, all testing is done at Walter reed as well sono, blood, the ER, ET, there are both military and civilians that work int his dept, you have to first have a consult that says ou are a candidate for the program hen you have to be accepted into it they cycle every quarter, the only meds you would pay for are the PIO in which is free from Bethesda, or 29 a bottle through freedom fertility pharmacy.
