5 things I wish I knew before purchasing fertility benefits

Evaluating fertility benefits is more complicated than most HR teams expect. The vendor landscape is crowded, the clinical nuances are real, and the decisions you make early in the process shape what your employees can actually access.

This guide shares what the HR leader from Reed Smith learned after evaluating seven fertility benefits vendors, and what she wishes she'd known before starting.

Inside the guide, you'll learn:

• Why understanding your existing health plan's fertility coverage, and its limitations, is the right first step before talking to any vendor
• How the complexity of different family-building paths, from donor-assisted reproduction to gestational surrogacy, should shape what you look for in a program
• What global fertility benefits parity truly requires, and the questions to ask vendors about coverage in countries where your employees are located
• How to think through first-dollar coverage, taxation, and compliance before you commit to a benefit structure
• What to look for in provider network quality and care navigation, plus why programs that try to do everything often fall short on depth
