Transitioning from Maven
We are committed to making your transition from Maven to Progyny as smooth as possible, and ensuring you have the information, resources, and support you need every step of the way.
If you're currently receiving fertility treatment and your care will continue after January 1, 2027, we encourage you to contact Progyny as soon as possible to understand your options and access the support available to you during the transition. To see whether your provider participates in the Progyny network, visit providersearch.progyny.com. If your provider is not part of Progyny's network, your Progyny Care Advocate (PCA) can help guide you on next steps.
