In addition, several assisted conception techniques include, among others, artificial insemination (AI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and egg or embryo donation. Some states mandate coverage of at least some kind of infertility treatment in policies sold through the individual market or small group market or both. State mandates vary considerably. Some apply only to certain kinds of health insurance policies, for example, HMOs. Others specify certain types of infertility treatment, such as IVF, that must be, or not be, covered under the mandate.
