Does insurance cover IVF in Washington, DC?

Washington, DC has a state law requiring certain health insurance plans to cover infertility treatment, including IVF. Limits such as the number of cycles covered, and which plans are included, depend on the law and your policy. State laws do not apply to self-funded employer plans, so always check your own policy or ask your HR team. (Insurance information last reviewed November 2026.)

How to use these rankings

Success rates are a useful starting point, but they are not the whole picture. A clinic’s results depend on its patients’ ages and diagnoses, and clinics that treat more complex cases may show lower rates. When you speak to clinics, ask about their most recent results for patients like you, what an IVF cycle costs in total, how often you will need monitoring appointments, and whether you will see the same doctor throughout.
