Hi [HR Contact Name],

‍

I’m writing to request that [Company Name] explore adding comprehensive fertility benefits to our health plan, including diagnostic testing, medication, and assisted reproductive technology (e.g., IVF).

‍

Fertility challenges affect 1 in 6 couples and many LGBTQ+ individuals. Lack of coverage forces employees to make medical decisions based on cost, not best practice, which can result in higher-risk pregnancies and increased healthcare costs.

‍

Industry data shows:

97% of employers offering fertility coverage see no significant cost increase (Mercer, 2021).
Employees with coverage are 62% more likely to stay longer in their jobs (FertilityIQ, 2017).

Gaia offers solutions to make treatment more accessible and affordable, with flexible financing options and support for employees throughout their journey.

‍

I’d be happy to provide more information and have copied Gaia's employer benefit lead into this email, Kaitlin Carroll (kaitlin@gaia.family).

‍

Thank you for considering this important benefit,

[Your Name]

[Your Role/Department]
