−Removed: In addition, other competitors include specialty fertility-focused solutions owned or sponsored by the health insurance companies to provide more comprehensive support to fertility patients than their general medical coverage provides, such as case management or educational support, and the venture capital or private equity-backed companies who focus on maternity and reproductive health services more broadly, or who provide fertility-specific benefits solutions.
−Removed: Our solutions are structured as a pre-tax benefit program integrated into employers’ overall employee medical insurance, which is unique compared to the offerings of benefits managers new to the industry that do not have integrated health insurance carrier solutions.
−Removed: In addition to our unique plan design, member support and fertility specialist network, one of the key structural differences between our pre-tax benefit and their post-tax reimbursement programs is that the individual receiving reimbursement for fertility treatments must pay income taxes on the amount of that reimbursement for the post-tax programs.

−Removed: While the most salient vehicle for healthcare reform, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively the ACA, does not directly regulate our business, it does affect the coverage and plan designs that are or will be provided by certain insurance carriers and certain of our clients, as well as the overall reimbursement environment for healthcare providers.
−Removed: Since its enactment in 2010, there have been judicial, executive and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA, and in June 2021, the U.S.
−Removed: Supreme Court dismissed the most recent judicial challenge to the ACA brought by several states without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the ACA.
−Removed: Other health reform efforts have been proposed by members of Congress, such as measures that would expand the role of government-sponsored coverage, including further reform to the ACA, which could have far-reaching implications for the healthcare industry if enacted.

−Removed: Most recently, on August 16, 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or IRA, into law.
−Removed: The health reform measures included in

−Removed: As another example of recent healthcare legislative changes, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, or CAA, effective as of December 27, 2021, contains provisions impacting group health plans, including protections for plan participants from surprise medical bills and ensuring health plan price transparency.
−Removed: The CAA prohibits plans from entering into services agreements that directly or indirectly restrict the plans from disclosing provider-specific costs and quality of care information.
−Removed: It also requires disclosure by health insurance brokers and consultants to plan sponsors regarding reasonably expected direct and indirect compensation for referral of services to group health plans.
−Removed: Additionally, the CAA requires plans to submit reports to the Department of Labor, or DOL, or HHS and the Internal Revenue Services, or the IRS, with certain information on pharmacy benefits and drug costs for participants and beneficiaries and the application of in-network rates to out of network services.
−Removed: The CAA also requires certain service providers for health plans to comply with certain ERISA fee disclosure rules.
−Removed: In addition, effective January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act (enacted as part of the CAA) provides protection against surprise medical bills by prohibiting plans and providers from balance billing patients for emergency care performed by out-of-network providers as well as non-emergency and ancillary services performed by out-of-network providers at in-network facilities, subject to certain notice and consent exceptions for non-emergency and ancillary services.
−Removed: The new law also grants additional patient protections, including requiring providers to send a good faith estimate of the expected charges for furnishing items or services to an insured patient’s health plan (or directly to an uninsured patient) before such items or services are delivered (including items or services reasonably expected to be provided in conjunction with scheduled items or services or that are reasonably expected to be delivered by another provider).
−Removed: The No Surprises Act also provides a dispute resolution process in the event the actual charges for such items and services are substantially higher than the plan’s estimate, and will prohibit providers from charging patients an amount beyond the in-network cost sharing amount for services rendered by out-of-network providers, subject to certain exceptions.
−Removed: Several states have also enacted comprehensive balance billing or surprise billing laws and the CAA defers to existing state requirements with respect to state-established payment amounts.
−Removed: Such state laws vary in their approach, resulting in different impacts on the healthcare system as a whole.
−Removed: We are unable to predict how other healthcare reform initiatives from new legislation, regulation, judicial action and/or executive action, including the CAA and No Surprises Act and state laws, will ultimately impact the healthcare industry and what the potential impact may be on our business and on our relationships with current and future clients, insurance carriers, and healthcare providers.
−Removed: Licensing and Other Legal Requirements
−Removed: Many states have licensure or registration requirements for entities providing third-party administrator, or TPA, or pharmacy benefit management, or PBM, services.
+Added: The healthcare industry is subject to significant and evolving federal and state regulation and judicial interpretation.
+Added: We are regulated, directly or indirectly through our client relationships, by various federal agencies, including, but not limited to, the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, the Department of Labor, or DOL, and the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, as well as by various state governments and agencies.
+Added: Although many regulatory and governmental requirements do not directly apply to us or our business, our clients may be directly subject to such regulations and requirements, and, in turn, we may be required to comply as a result of our contractual obligations with our clients.
+Added: We have structured our operations to comply with all laws, regulations and other requirements applicable to us directly and to our clients, members, fertility specialists and specialty pharmacies.
+Added: However, it is uncertain how our operations may be impacted by changing political, legislative, and regulatory landscapes and priorities, as well as other factors impacting the healthcare industry.
+Added: Licensing Requirements
+Added: Many states have licensure or registration requirements for entities acting as a third-party administrator, or TPA, or pharmacy benefit manager, or PBM.
Given the nature and scope of the solutions and services that we provide, we are required to maintain TPA and/or PBM licenses and registrations in certain jurisdictions and to ensure that such licenses and registrations are in good standing on an annual basis.
These licenses require us to comply with the rules and regulations of the governmental bodies that issued such licenses, including maintaining certain solvency or bond requirements.
−Removed: Our failure to comply with such rules and regulations could result in administrative penalties, the suspension of a license, or the loss of a license, all of which could negatively impact our business.
−Removed: Separately, states impose licensing requirements on insurers, risk-bearing entities, and insurance agents, as well as those entities that provide utilization review services.
−Removed: We do not believe that our services require us to be licensed under these state laws.
−Removed: We are unable to predict, however, how our services may be viewed by regulators over time, how these laws and regulations will be interpreted, or the full extent of their application.
−Removed: If a regulatory authority in any state determines that the nature of our business requires that we be licensed under such state laws, we may need to restructure our business to comply with any related requirements.
−Removed: Fraud and Abuse Laws.
−Removed: Many of our clients, insurance carriers, and network healthcare providers are impacted directly and indirectly by certain fraud and abuse laws, including the federal anti-kickback and false claims laws.
−Removed: Because the solutions we provide are not reimbursed by government healthcare payors, such fraud and abuse laws generally do not directly apply to our business.
−Removed: However, many states have similar laws and regulations that may differ from each other and federal law in significant ways, thus complicating compliance efforts.
−Removed: For example, certain states have anti-kickback and false claims laws that may be broader in scope than analogous federal laws and may apply regardless of payor.
−Removed: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, regulates certain aspects of employee health benefits plans, which includes both insured and self-funded health plans sponsored by our clients, with which we have agreements to provide TPA services.
−Removed: Although health plans and their fiduciaries are subject to the fiduciary obligations of ERISA, we believe that we are not fiduciaries in the conduct of our business vis-a-vis these plans.
−Removed: there can be no assurance the DOL, which is the agency that enforces ERISA, would not in the future assert that the fiduciary obligations imposed by ERISA apply to certain aspects of our operations or courts would not reach such a ruling in private ERISA litigation.
−Removed: ERISA also imposes civil and criminal liability on service providers and certain other persons with relationships to health plans subject to ERISA if certain forms of illegal or prohibited remuneration are made or received by such service providers or other persons.
−Removed: These provisions of ERISA are similar, but not identical, to the healthcare anti-kickback laws described above, although ERISA lacks the statutory and regulatory “safe harbor” exceptions incorporated into the healthcare anti-kickback laws.
−Removed: Like the healthcare anti-kickback laws, the corresponding provisions of ERISA are broadly written and their application to particular cases can be uncertain.
−Removed: Employee benefits plans subject to ERISA are subject to certain rules, published by the DOL, including certain reporting requirements for direct and indirect compensation received by plan service providers.
−Removed: Finally, although ERISA has broad preemptive effect with respect to certain state laws that “relate” to benefit plans, it does not preempt state laws imposing transparency requirements on PBMs.
−Removed: Prompt Pay Laws.
−Removed: Certain states have laws regulating the amount of time that may elapse from when a third-party payor receives a claim for services rendered to when those services are paid.
−Removed: Many of these state laws do not apply to our business as these laws are preempted by ERISA or otherwise exempt entities like us that provide TPA-only services.
−Removed: Network Adequacy and Access.
−Removed: Certain states and government programs have laws regulating healthcare provider networks in order to ensure adequacy and access for beneficiaries and providers.
−Removed: These laws may affect us and our payor clients in network design and management.
−Removed: If we do not comply, we could face enforcement action or other penalties.
−Removed: Requirements Regarding the Privacy and Security of Personal Information
−Removed: Numerous state, federal and foreign laws, regulations and standards govern the collection, use, access to, confidentiality and security of health-related and other personal information, and could apply now or in the future to our operations or the operations of our partners.
−Removed: In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including data breach notification laws, health information privacy and security laws and consumer protection laws and regulations govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information.
−Removed: In addition, certain foreign laws govern the privacy and security of personal data, including health-related data.
−Removed: Privacy and security laws, regulations, and other obligations are constantly evolving, may conflict with each other to complicate compliance efforts, and can result in investigations, proceedings, or actions that lead to significant civil and/or criminal penalties and restrictions on data processing.
+Added: In addition, certain states impose licensing requirements on entities that provide utilization review services.
+Added: We are licensed, are exempt from licensure or registration, or believe that we are otherwise authorized in the states where we provide utilization review services.
+Added: ERISA Regulation
+Added: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, regulates certain aspects of employee health plans, including both insured and self-funded health plans sponsored by our clients, with whom we have agreements to provide TPA services and, in most cases, PBM services through Progyny Rx.
+Added: In our capacity as a TPA and/or PBM for our clients, we may be subject to certain provisions of ERISA.
+Added: Under ERISA, health plan fiduciaries are subject to certain fiduciary obligations.
+Added: However, we believe that the conduct of our business vis-à-vis our clients’ plans is not of a fiduciary nature, and, therefore, we are not subject in general to the fiduciary obligations imposed by ERISA with respect to such plans .
+Added: In addition, ERISA plans are subject to certain rules, published by the DOL, including reporting requirements for direct and indirect compensation received by health plan service providers.
+Added: ERISA's prohibitions on certain forms of remuneration made to, or received by, health plan service providers or other persons are broadly written, and their application to particular cases is uncertain.
+Added: Although ERISA has historically been interpreted to have a broad preemptive effect with respect to certain state laws that “relate” to benefit plans, it does not preempt all state laws imposing transparency or other requirements on PBMs.
+Added: If the interpretation of ERISA preemption is further narrowed in the future, our contractual obligations with our self-insured clients would likely require us to comply more broadly with state laws applicable to health insurance that do not currently apply to us.
+Added: PBM Regulation
+Added: Recently, there have been a number of reform efforts focused on PBM regulation, program pricing, and transparency, from both federal and state legislatures and agencies, including, but not limited to, the disclosure, receipt and retention of rebates and other payments received from pharmaceutical manufacturers or pharmacy program partners, rules governing contractual provisions between PBMs and their contracted payers and/or pharmacies, registration or licensing of PBMs, transparency reporting requirements, and audits of PBM operations.
+Added: In addition, certain quasi-regulatory organizations, including the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, have issued model regulations or may propose future model regulations related to PBM operations.
+Added: PBM credentialing organizations may also establish voluntary standards regarding PBM activities.
+Added: While the model regulations and standards of these quasi-regulatory or credentialing organizations are not legal requirements, federal and state lawmakers may be influenced to adopt similar legislation, and such model regulations and standards may also impact client expectations or requirements for PBM services.
+Added: HIPAA Privacy and Security Requirements
+Added: Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, or HIPAA, establish privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of certain individually identifiable health information (known as “protected health information”), including reproductive health information, and require the implementation of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information.
+Added: The privacy regulations established under HIPAA provide individuals with rights related to understanding and controlling how their protected health information is used and disclosed.
+Added: As a provider of services to entities subject to HIPAA, we are directly subject to certain provisions of HIPAA in our capacity as a “Business Associate.” When acting as a Business Associate under HIPAA, to the extent permitted by applicable privacy regulations and contractual arrangements with our clients, we are permitted to use and disclose protected health information to perform our services and for other limited purposes, but other uses and disclosures, such as marketing communications, require written authorization from the member or must meet an exception specified under HIPAA.
+Added: We also have downstream Business Associates that perform services for us and are also subject to HIPAA.
+Added: Other Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Requirements
+Added: In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal and state laws, rules, regulations and standards govern the collection, dissemination, use, handling, transfer, processing, access to and confidentiality of personal information, some of which may be applicable to our business.
+Added: Certain federal and state laws protect types of personal information that may be viewed as particularly sensitive.
+Added: For example, New York’s Public Health Law, Article 27-F protects information that could reveal confidential HIV-related information about an individual.
+Added: In many cases, state laws are more restrictive than, and not preempted by, HIPAA, and may allow personal rights of action with respect to data privacy or cybersecurity breaches, as well as fines.
+Added: State laws are contributing to increased enforcement activity and may also be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities.
+Added: Further, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, CCPA), gives California residents certain rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, including certain sensitive personal information, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used.
+Added: The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches, which has increased the likelihood and risks associated with data breach litigation.
+Added: Additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required.
+Added: Similar laws have passed in other states and are continuing to be proposed at the state and federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States.
+Added: The enactment of such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance more challenging and could lead to additional liability risks.
+Added: Consumer Protection Laws
+Added: Federal and state consumer protection laws are being applied increasingly by the FTC, Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, and state attorneys general to regulate the collection, use, handling, transfer, storage, processing and disclosure of personal or health information, through websites or otherwise, and to regulate the presentation of website content.
+Added: Consumer protection laws require us to publish statements to users of our services that describe how we handle personal information and choices consumers may have about the way we handle personal information.
+Added: State Corporate Practice and Fee-Splitting Prohibitions
+Added: These laws generally prohibit non-physician entities from practicing medicine, exercising control over physicians or engaging in certain practices such as fee-splitting with physicians.
+Added: We have structured our operations and contracts with our providers to comply with these laws.
+Added: However, regulatory authorities, state medical boards, state attorneys general and other parties, including our network physicians, may assert that we are engaged in the prohibited corporate practice of medicine, and/or that our arrangement with our network providers constitutes unlawful fee-splitting.
Intellectual Property

+Added: Given that the majority of our clients contract with us for a January 1 st benefits plan start date and that the average cost of treatments earlier in the overall treatment process is somewhat lower than the average cost as treatment progresses, our revenue from treatment services tends to grow as the year continues, particularly for new clients.
