As far as I know in Ohio (my state), the medical card would not cover this.  Some insurance plans do (mostly employer plans) but at different levels.  My insurance covered up to 10,000 lifetime.  

Now, various fertility clinics do have different plans.  That is worth checking into.  Some women here also set up fundraising accounts (not here at med help though) to bring in some money to offset costs.  

good luck to your friend.

Usually out of pocket.  

I have heard that in New Jersey the health-insurance laws require one IVF try be covered if you have (private) health insurance, but don't even know if that is true.
