Does Michigan require IVF coverage?

No general fertility coverage mandate

No. Michigan does not have a general state requirement for health plans to cover IVF. Your plan may still include fertility benefits voluntarily. KFF State Health Facts infertility coverage table

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.

Sources reviewed August 25, 2026. Requirements depend on the plan and the services covered.

Coverage Details

Michigan has no broad private-market mandate requiring infertility diagnosis, treatment, or IVF coverage. The earlier diagnosis flag traced to a KFF Medicaid screening row, not a private-insurance mandate: Medicaid context is limited to diagnosis of male or female infertility and excludes infertility treatment, anesthesia related to infertility treatment, and infertility genetic testing. Plan First and other limited family-planning benefits are not IVF benefits. Any fertility treatment coverage is therefore plan-specific, and self-funded ERISA employer plans are generally outside state insurance mandates.
