Pete Anevski, Chief Executive Officer at Progyny attributes the biggest driver of demand for fertility benefits to need and increased interest among millennials, the largest demographic in today’s workforce.

“Traditional insurance plans attempt to control the cost of care by restricting utilization with dollar maximums, step therapies, prior authorizations, and treatment exclusions. Their approach results in low live-birth rates and high-cost, high-risk pregnancies and multiple births, which negatively impact employers and their members,” Anevski said.
