Welcome to Our Hope Minnesota. Currently Minnesota does not have manadated infertility coverage. 15 states are ahead of Minnesota in mandating that some form of infertility coverage be included in health plans.
With over 100,000 Minnesotans facing infertility issues and the desire to start families, we believe that Minnesota is facing a health crisis that needs to be addressed.
In the coming weeks and months we will be sharing our stories with you and hope that you will share yours. We will also provide you with resources, articles and studies that can help you understand infertility better.
We hope that you will become advocates in our desire to legislate for mandated infertility coverage in Minnesota. We hope that you will contact your Minnesota State Representative and Senator and express your support for mandated coverage.
Quick Facts:
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) can cost up to $1,500 per cycle if the patient is not covered. Many people have 6 rounds of IUI.
IVF can cost up to $15,000 (plus drug costs) per cycle. Many people have 3 cycles of IVF.
The emotional pain suffered by patients who are experiencing infertility can be as intense or greater then those who suffer from cancer.
Our Hope Minnesota believes that all Minnesotans have the right to start families and that there shouldn't be a financial burden to do so.
