Louisiana Infertility Insurance Mandate
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, are requesting the State of Louisiana to enact an infertility insurance mandate. Currently, 15 states in the U.S. are required to offer or treat infertility. These mandates were designed to make conception more affordable (and less emotionally draining) to the 1 of 6 couples that struggle with the problem. Furthermore, in these mandated states, infertility treatments are more successful and less risky for the mother and child.
Currently, Louisiana law states that a health insurance policy or contract is prohibited from excluding coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of correctable medical conditions, otherwise covered by the policy, that results in infertility. However, coverage is not required for fertility drugs, IVF, or any other assisted reproductive technique, reversal of a tubal ligation, a vasectomy, or any other method of sterilization.
Without the assistance of insurance to pay for infertility treatments ranging from medications to IVF, many people will never experience the joy of pregnancy, childbirth, or watching their child grow.

We have paid out of pocket for every medication and IVF procedure. It is unfair that other medically necessary procedures are covered by insurance but not IVF. Please vote to envforce the current LA law and force insurance companies to cover IVF.
