American Attitudes Toward Primary Infertility

Texas-based LifeSpring Insurance Services developed a primary infertility assistance policy to help the next generation with costs of treating primary infertility. In a recent online survey, 31 percent of Americans would be interested in a health insurance policy to protect their child(ren) from future primary infertility.* (The Harris Poll, Sept. 19-23, 2019)

A majority of Americans (66%) agree becoming a grandparent is an important milestone to them.* Adults ages 35-44 are more likely than their younger peers (age 18-34) and older peers (45+) to say becoming a grandparent is an important milestone to them (75% vs. 65% and 64%).

Most Americans (84%) think treatments should be affordable for anyone who needs it*, and nearly 1 in 3 Americans (31%) would be/would have been interested in health insurance policy to protect their children or future children from future primary infertility.**

Two Austin-based insurance executives spent five years developing the country's first individual health policy exclusively insuring primary infertility treatments. Offered by LifeSpring Insurance Services, this Primary Infertility Assistance Policy (PIAP) is available in Texas.

"For one in eight couples, the path to parenthood has obstacles that seem like boulders – hard to move, impossible to go over, under or around," LifeSpring CEO Jason Muesse says. "We are removing the stressful financial barrier between tomorrow's young couples and their dreams of family."

LifeSpring Insurance Services is dedicated to changing how treatments for primary infertility are insured for the next generation. Its innovative early-life approach offers today's adults an opportunity to give the next generation hope and the financial resources to pursue it. Its unique, deferred benefit policy gives future generations facing primary infertility the financial resources to have their own biological children without the significant personal expense.

Survey Methods: Two surveys were conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of LifeSpring: *October 15 – 17, 2019 among 2,018 U.S. adults ages 18 and older among whom 1,172 are parents, and **September 19-23, 2019 among 2,076 U.S. adults ages 18 and older among whom 819 are parents of children 18 and under. These online surveys are not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
