Progyny Fertility Benefits Explained: IVF, Smart Cycles, & Coverage Options
Navigating fertility benefits can feel overwhelming, especially when plans and coverage limits vary widely. If your employer offers Progyny fertility benefits, understanding how they work can help you make confident, informed decisions about your care.
Below, we break down what Progyny is, how Smart Cycles work, and how we support patients using Progyny coverage.
What is Progyny and How Does It Work?
Progyny is a fertility benefits manager that partners with employers to offer comprehensive, treatment-based fertility coverage. Instead of placing strict dollar limits on care as many traditional insurance plans do, Progyny uses Smart Cycles, which are designed to cover complete fertility treatments.
This approach helps reduce unexpected out-of-pocket costs and allows patients and providers to focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality, personalized care.
All clinics within the Fertility Specialists Network, including Audubon Fertility, are in network with Progyny, giving patients access to experienced reproductive specialists and evidence-based treatment options.
How Progyny Smart Cycles Work
Progyny Smart Cycles are structured around treatments rather than individual services or reimbursement caps. Depending on your employer’s plan, coverage may include:
-
IVF, IUI, and related fertility treatments
-
Egg and embryo freezing
-
Embryo transfer and cryostorage services
-
Access to fertility specialists within the Progyny network
-
Dedicated patient support throughout treatment
Because coverage is treatment-based, patients often experience greater clarity and predictability when planning their care.
Does Progyny Cover IVF?
While coverage details vary by employer, Progyny plans commonly include:
IVF and IUI Treatment
Progyny Smart Cycles are designed to support complete treatment pathways rather than limiting care to a set number of services or procedures.
Egg and Embryo Freezing
Fertility preservation may be an option for individuals planning ahead due to medical considerations, family-building goals, or personal timing. Many Progyny plans include coverage for egg and embryo freezing.
Male Fertility Services
Fertility care often involves both partners. Progyny coverage may include sperm testing, retrieval, and preservation when clinically indicated.
Personalized Support
Progyny offers patient care advocates who provide one-on-one guidance, helping patients understand benefits, coordinate care, and navigate next steps throughout treatment.
