Choice Insurance Agent

When we found out that my wife was infertile, we were incredibly thankful that we had infertility insurance. She went through days and weeks of therapy and in time, we were content with the news that she was having a healthy pregnancy. It was wonderful that our insurance was able to cover infertility treatments because it involves a lot of different procedures with several different doctors. Many times, it can be years before the family involved is able to conceive a child, and it is nearly always after a long period of infertility treatments.

In our case, we flouted the statistics. For many couples, infertility treatment is something that they will seldom be able to afford, and most insurance plans do not include infertility treatment. Take the case of one family, the Hiltons, their attempts to have a child have been fruitless though nearly a decade. And take my word for it, they have really craved children. When the time came to send out baby announcements, I was at the cusp of not sending one because it might cause them emotional pain. And we were correct, when Dolores found out, she left the room crying.

They did attempt some infertility treatments, but their meager resources limited them to only being able to try for a few months. The chances of them getting pregnant in such a short amount of time were fairly small. Although their first attempt was unsuccessful, they have started a new plan to save what little money they can to put it toward another round of treatments. I feel so bad for them because although Walter has a steady job and they have insurance, but their plan does not cover infertility insurance.

I feel like this entire situation is unfair and I decided to investigate in order to find out what kinds of insurance plans are available that do contain infertility insurance. To my surprise, it is almost impossible to locate a good plan that does cover infertility. Even straightforward features like short-term disability insurance are not often included in an average insurance plan.

My poor friends yearn desperately for a child to hold and care for. If only they had access to the same treatment that we did, they could be able to have their own baby. I can’t imagine existence without my own child and find it hard to talk to my friends now that we are parents. While our insurance was wonderful for us, I feel massive frustration that other insurance plans don’t include the same infertility insurance that would give other couples the chance to feel our joy.

Another aspect on this issue is available at Infertility Insurance or Short Term Disability Insurance.

I’d never thought much about short-term disability insurance until that fateful day in December when my husband took a spill on some sidewalk ice while out getting the mail. He had seriously injured his ankle and was in pain for days. We were rather relieved to discover that his ankle was sprained and not broken like we thought. Learning that we would not have to pay all of our savings into doctor’s bills went a long way toward making us feel much better.

This really got us thinking about what would happen if we were faced with another serious accident and did not have any short-term disability insurance. My husband does not have a regular job, as he works as a freelance programmer, so he does not have employer-provided insurance. It dawned on us that we should start the hunt for a private insurance plan that included short-term disability insurance. This was easier said than done, especially since we didn’t have the faintest idea where to actually start.

There was talk of contacting a local insurance agent in order to get information regarding different plans. This was a mistake since the agent never answered our questions and mainly spent the time trying to sell us insurance for a boat that we do not have. Of course, this was not what we wanted to hear and departed without signing anything. Why was it so difficult to find a plan that made sense and didn’t require a doctorate to grasp? Our next idea was to look at online sources, but there was so much confusing information that we were unsure how to differentiate between legit insurance plans and fraudulent ones.

This task was made all the more difficult because we also needed a plan that included maternity health insurance, which many plans did not have. We were not expecting a baby any time soon, but we had examined the possibility and did want to have kids before we got too much further into our 30’s. Although it seemed simple enough, we just could not find a good plan that would give us both maternity benefits and short-term disability benefits.

This became a gigantic source of frustration because we just wanted a simple way to sort through the different plans with some advice and tips on how to find the one right for us. I wonder how many other families there are out there who work in non-traditional jobs who might not have insurance plans offered by their workplaces. We eventually did find a decent website that provided us with the information we needed, and thankfully, it wasn’t too late.
