Overview

Progyny provides fertility, family-building, pregnancy/postpartum, and menopause benefits for employers and plans. Public figures: 600+ companies, 45+ industries, 120+ countries, 7.2 million people with access (employer FAQ), typically employers with 1,000+ employees, plus Progyny Select—a fully insured supplemental plan for small and mid-sized employers. Members get a dedicated Progyny Care Advocate, Smart Cycle benefit currency (diagnostics, labs, treatment, and medications bundled per treatment type), and a directly credentialed women’s-health network with NCQA credentialing accreditation. Coverage spans preconception, fertility, adoption and surrogacy, pregnancy, return to work, and menopause. An integrated pharmacy solution is named on the employer FAQ.

Why it matters Progyny’s Smart Cycle design is the well-known large-employer fertility benefit structure, now extended globally and via Select to smaller groups.

Target buyer: Large self-insured or fully insured employers (often 1,000+) and SMBs via Progyny Select; consultants and health plans.
Pricing model: Employer-sponsored benefit design (Smart Cycle allotments); Progyny Select is fully insured supplemental—premiums not published; Smart Cycle is a coverage unit, not a public dollar price. Access requires the employer’s Progyny benefit and eligible medical plan enrollment.

Overview

Progyny is a women’s-health and family-building benefits company. The homepage describes a data-driven model for clinical outcomes, cost savings, and member experience, supporting 600+ companies across 45+ industries and 120+ countries.

The employer FAQ adds 7.2 million people with access and says Progyny typically works with employers of 1,000+ employees, for both self-insured and fully insured U.S. (and Canada) populations. Progyny Select is a fully insured supplemental plan aimed at small and mid-sized employers.

Members activate through the employer benefit, are matched to a Care Advocate, and use in-network reproductive endocrinologists and urologists. Smart Cycle bundles the services, tests, and medications for a treatment type so coverage is less likely to run out mid-cycle. Treatments are valued as whole or fractional Smart Cycles.

Key Capabilities

Inclusive Smart Cycle design for all paths to parenthood, including same-sex couples and single parents (Progyny educational pages).

Integrations & Ecosystem

The benefit works only through an organization-sponsored plan; the member (or partner) must be on an eligible health plan. Pharmacy is “integrated” without a public PBM name. Progyny says it fits existing benefit ecosystems.

Pricing

Large-group pricing is a designed Smart Cycle allotment plus administration—not a public PEPM. Select premiums are unpublished. Employer examples of dollar caps on other vendors’ products are not Progyny list prices.

Notes & Limitations

Not direct-to-consumer.
Outcome superiority vs national averages is claimed; the outcomes page was not fully extracted in this pass.
Typical 1,000+ size is guidance; Select exists for smaller groups.
Surrogacy cash benefits depend on the employer’s plan, not only Smart Cycles.
