Coverage Details

Maine mandates infertility coverage, including IVF, for fully insured plans. 24-A M.R.S. §4320-U (the statute was reallocated from §4320-S) requires coverage of infertility diagnosis and treatment, and Bureau of Insurance Rule 865 §5(8) explicitly mandates IVF coverage, including donor-egg and gestational-carrier IVF. Rule 865 limits coverage to 2 lifetime ART cycles or 4 completed oocyte retrievals and permits step-therapy. Medicaid context - Not Covered. State mandates vary by market and plan type and generally do not control self-funded employer plans.

Self-funded employer health plans are generally governed by ERISA and may be exempt from state insurance mandates; verify benefits with the clinic and insurer.
