When 26-year-old Lauren Nalder got cancer, doctors asked her if she'd like to freeze her eggs. Her insurance wouldn't cover it.
SALT LAKE CITY — When kindergarten teacher Lauren Nalder first noticed a lump on her neck, she didn't think much of it. Fast forward a couple of months and doctors told the then-26-year-old she had Hodgkin lymphoma.
Before starting chemotherapy treatment, which can impact fertility, her oncologist talked to her about freezing her eggs. Unfortunately, her insurance did not cover egg retrieval. Her family had to come up with $5,000 to pay out-of-pocket for the procedure. Nalder is grateful they had the financial means to support her, but she understands that is not the reality for many patients diagnosed with cancer.
A joint resolution aims to change that by directing Public Employees' Benefit and Insurance Program to provide fertility preservation coverage for cancer patients.
