RESOLVE recently released it annual “Fertility Scorecard” - a map that grades states based on access to fertility resources. According to the map, the best states for those seeking fertility treatments are: Illinois, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. The worst states (those receiving an F grade) are Mississippi, Wyoming, and Alaska.
Each state was evaluated based on the following fertility care related factors:
- Number of fertility specialists (doctors) in the state
- Number of women in the state who have experienced physical difficulty in becoming or remaining pregnant (to live birth)
- Whether or not the state law requires insurance coverage for fertility treatments (insurance mandate)
- Number of peer-led RESOLVE support groups
