The Need for a Comprehensive Fertility Solution
Over the past few decades, the trend has been toward many couples choosing to start families later in life, which can impact fertility.Schmidt L, Sobotka T, Bentzen JG, Nyboe Andersen A; ESHRE Reproduction and Society Task Force. Demographic and medical consequences of the postponement of parenthood. Hum Reprod Update. 2012 Jan-Feb;18(1):29-43. doi: 10.1093/humupd/dmr040. Epub 2011 Oct 11. PMID: 21989171. Employers have historically offered supplemental fertility benefits, but more members are looking to have it included as a core benefit.https://www.benefitnews.com/list/6-most-common-fertility-benefits Increasingly employers are adding fertility benefits. Of companies with more than 20,000 employees, 44 percent offered some kind of in vitro fertilization (IVF) benefit in 2018, up from 37 percent in 2017.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/30/style/ivf-coverage.html
