Kindbody for UHC and UMR Subscribers Effective 01/01/2024

What Is It: Kindbody is a comprehensive family-building benefit for UHC HMO and UMR PPO plan subscribers. Kindbody provides diverse end-to-end fertility services — including fertility assessments, IVF, and IUI. In addition to clinical guidance, they offer dedicated Kindbody care navigation, digital tools, and education to help members maneuver their personalized path to parenthood.

 

Since your needs may span many phases, Kindbody isn’t just a fertility benefit.  They offer menopause support and dynamic, integrated holistic support that goes beyond a traditional treatment plan.

 

Note: Employees and spouses/partners enrolled on the California Schools VEBA sponsored Kaiser plan will have access to VEBA discounted rates at Kindbody Signature clinics. Additionally, VEBA members seeking services for fertility preservation (i.e., egg freezing) will have access to discounted rates at Kindbody Signature clinics. These direct discounts are offered directly by Kindbody and not through the California Schools VEBA benefit program.
