Our Center participates with a number of insurance plans. However, infertility treatment may or may not be covered by your insurance company. If you do have benefits, it may be limited to a certain dollar amount or a specific number of treatment cycles.
We encourage you to fully understand your benefits prior to initiating treatment so that you can make informed choices about the treatments recommended by your physician. For example, if you have a lifetime maximum of three treatment attempts, you may choose a more aggressive treatment path than otherwise. Our pre-determination of benefits package gives you tips and forms for working with the insurance company.
If the lack of insurance coverage is a concern, we offer a few financial programs that can help some patients, including the IVF Shared Risk 100% Refund Program. Fertility medications (called gonadotropins) can also be expensive. Some pharmacies have specialized in infertility and offer a full range of medications and supplies at reasonable costs.
If you need IVF and have no benefits, we believe that it is especially important for you to have a realistic understanding of your chances of success with that treatment. You should carefully evaluate the IVF success rates of a Center as you want to maximize your opportunity to achieve a pregnancy.
We know that understanding insurance benefits or obtaining the necessary referrals or authorizations to begin treatment can be very confusing. To minimize any financial anxiety, it is important that you have a good handle on the processes that are required by your insurance plan. If you have questions or need guidance, don't hesitate to call us…that's why we are here.
