Does insurance cover IVF in Ohio?

Limited mandate

Partially — Ohio has a limited, program-specific requirement rather than a general IVF mandate.

What the law says

Ohio requires HMOs to cover medically necessary basic infertility services (diagnosis and corrective procedures). IVF may be covered but is not required.

Statute: Ohio Rev. Code §1751.01(A)(7) · enacted 1991

The exemption that matters in every state

Self-insured (self-funded) employer plans are regulated by federal ERISA law, not state law, and are exempt from state coverage mandates. Roughly two-thirds of covered U.S. workers are on self-insured plans — your employer's benefits office can tell you which kind of plan you have.
