Evaluation, treatment, and insurance coverage for couples with male factor infertility in the US: A cross-sectional analysis of survey data

Urology Apr 02, 2020

Glazer CH, et al. - This study was intended to define the assessment, treatment, and insurance coverage among couples with male factor infertility in the United States. Researchers designed a cohort of 969 couples who underwent fertility treatment with a diagnosis of male factor infertility from an online survey. They compared the proportion of men that were seen/not seen by a male. They further measured insurance coverage related to male factor. The study found that 28% of the men were not evaluated by a male fertility specialist, although this cohort includes couples with abnormal semen parameters. They recorded low insurance coverage for services related to male factor. These data may be of concern as insufficient assessment and coverage of the infertile man could lead to missed opportunities for distinguishing reversible causes of infertility/medical comorbidities and places an unfair burden on the female partner.
