A new study presented at ASRM 2026 reveals that racial and ethnic disparities in starting fertility treatments continue even when patients have access to fertility benefits. African American/Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Other/Mixed race groups had significantly lower treatment initiation rates and experienced longer delays compared to White patients. However, once treatment began, the time to pregnancy was similar across groups. The findings highlight the need to address barriers beyond insurance coverage, such as personalized support and understanding patient preferences, to ensure equitable fertility care.
The new Progyny study on racial and ethnic disparities in fertility treatment initiation offers context for readers interested in health sector trends.
