List of Companies that offer Infertility Coverage including AVON!!

Ladies,

I know many of us were wanting to know if Avon offered insurance that covers IVF. I found this website that provides a list of companies that offer insurance with IVF coverage.

http://www.inciid.org/article.php?ca...ance101&id=243

I am seriously considering becoming an avon agent to get this coverage.

Any thoughts?

Only people who work at the Avon headquarters get the IF coverage. I became a consultant a couple of months ago (it was only $10 to start) to look into this. After much searching none of the health insurance they offer representatives covers IF (none of it is really any good for anything else either). It is only $10 to start so if you want to do your own investigating and come up with something different, I say go for it!!! Sorry to put a damper on this thread .

Thank you Mia for the help! At least I don't have to research this route any further.

I am also looking to apply at Talbots!
