Check the law, then check your plan
ASRM (the American Society for Reproductive Medicine) keeps a page for each state and territory on its patient site, ReproductiveFacts.org. Laws differ in what they require, which services they cover and which plans they reach, so read the page for Washington directly rather than relying on a summary.
ASRM's state-law hub notes that the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)

Questions to ask your insurer or HR
- Is my plan fully insured or self-insured? Does Washington's law apply to it?
- Which services are covered: monitoring, IUI, IVF, medications, egg freezing, storage?
- Are there limits on cycles, lifetime dollars, age or diagnosis?
- Is prior authorization needed, and must I use in-network clinics?
- Can you confirm the answers in writing, citing the plan document?

Common questions
Does Washington require insurance to cover infertility treatment?
ASRM publishes a page on Washington's infertility insurance law: https://www.reproductivefacts.org/patient-advocacy/state-and-territory-infertility-insurance-laws/washington/ — We do not restate the statute here because laws change and details (what is covered, who is exempt) matter. For questions about your state, ASRM directs readers to the state's Insurance Commissioner's office.
Will Washington's law apply to my employer's plan?
Not necessarily. ASRM notes that the federal ERISA law exempts companies that self-insure from state regulation. Ask your HR department or plan administrator whether your plan is fully insured or self-insured.
