With Texas fertility coverage, although insurance companies must provide this as an option, there is no mandate that any group is required to actually offer this as part of their health plan. In instances where such coverage is offered, it only pertains to those who can show that they’ve been infertile for at least 5 years or who have a medical issue such as endometriosis, tubal blockage or removal, or DES exposure. Also, IVF won’t even be considered until less costly measures, like IUI, have been tried.
