Fertility benefits have moved from a perk to an expectation, and the landscape of vendors has expanded faster than most benefits teams can evaluate. The result is a market where every provider sounds the same on a first read but delivers wildly different outcomes for employees and the bottom line.

Standard RFP templates were not built for the clinical complexity, member experience requirements, and outcomes data that modern fertility care demands. Without the right questions, benefits leaders end up comparing vendors on price and brand recognition rather than on what actually drives healthier pregnancies, lower medical spend, and a more inclusive employee experience.

This guide gives you a structured framework for evaluating fertility benefits vendors, with the specific questions, scoring criteria, and red flags that separate full-service partners from point solutions.

With this guide:

• Assess clinical models, provider networks, and care navigation against your population’s real needs
• Compare outcomes data — singleton birth rates, time-to-pregnancy, NICU avoidance — instead of marketing claims
• Evaluate inclusivity across LGBTQ+ family-building, single parents by choice, and adoption support
• Pressure-test pricing models, utilization assumptions, and total-cost-of-care projections
• Spot the integration, reporting, and member-experience gaps that erode ROI in year two

The wrong fertility partner costs more than the contract — it costs trust with the employees who needed you most. Use this guide to choose a partner who delivers measurable outcomes for your people and your plan.
