Walmart associates will have access to more
than 30 state-of-the-art clinics across the U.S., including a new
clinic in Northwest Arkansas
Today, Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) named Kindbody, a leading
family-building benefits provider for employers, as the fertility
provider for its new Center of Excellence (COE) for family-building
benefits. Associates will have access to Kindbody’s network of
facilities across the U.S., including a new state-of-the-art clinic
and in vitro fertilization (IVF) lab in Rogers, Arkansas that will
provide comprehensive virtual, at-home, and in-clinic care. The new
facility is expected to open later this year.
“Providing access to high-quality health care is very important
to us, and we’ve heard from our associates that improved access to
fertility, surrogacy and adoption support is a priority for them
and their families,” said Kim Lupo, senior vice president, Walmart
Global Total Rewards. “Through Kindbody, Walmart associates in
every corner of the country will have access to a variety of
services to aid in their family-planning journey.”
Through this new Center of Excellence, Walmart associates and
their dependents who are enrolled in a self-insured Walmart medical
plan will be able to receive fertility care from Kindbody’s
highly-trained team, inclusive of board-certified reproductive
endocrinologists and senior embryologists, at one of Kindbody’s
Signature Clinics nationwide. Services include fertility
assessments and education, fertility preservation, genetic testing,
in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination
(IUI).
Kindbody will also be available to help eligible associates
access Walmart’s surrogacy and adoption benefits, as well. These
Walmart benefits include financial support of up to $20,000,
lifetime max, for eligible surrogacy and adoption expenses. Walmart
benefits will continue to include enhanced maternity and parental
leave for qualified full-time hourly and salaried associates that
allows birth moms to receive up to 16 weeks of paid time off. New
parents, including adoptive and foster parents, also receive six
weeks paid parental leave to bond with a new child.
“We’re incredibly honored to become a Walmart Center of
Excellence and provide high-quality care to Walmart associates,
furthering our mission to make fertility and family-building care
affordable and accessible for all,” said Gina Bartasi, founder and
chairwoman of Kindbody. “Our partnership with Walmart signals that
fertility benefits have joined medical, dental, and vision as
standard workplace benefits for leading employers.”
This center will build on Walmart's existing COE model, which
provides benefit support and coverage for certain heart, spine and
joint surgeries and cancer treatments, in partnership with some of
the best healthcare providers and facilities in the country.
Walmart chooses Centers of Excellence through a highly selective
process, which requires health care providers to demonstrate an
ability to provide excellent care, a dedication to addressing the
root cause of a patient's condition, and an outstanding patient
experience, amongst other key criteria that are reviewed.
