Shared Help Program

 The Shared Help Program is designed to help make fertility testing and treatment more affordable, by offering discounts to patients who have no insurance coverage for procedures and services needed and limited personal resources to cover the out-of-pocket expenses. Since the inception of the program in late 2008, 70% of Shared Help applicants have been approved for discounted treatment.

Shared Help provides patients, whose income is $85,000 or less, with a discount off the cost of most fertility services provided by SGFC. The percentage discount is based on annual household income which is confirmed by two years of tax returns. Discounts do not apply when the fees are paid to an outside service and, therefore, not within our control. Services provided at one of SGFC 13 sites are eligible for discounts. All outside services are not eligible for discounts.  

Eligibility Criteria:
 
Annual household income (including business income, rents, capital gains, etc.) must be $85,000 or less based on last two years US Federal Tax Returns. (75% weighting towards most recent year)
Meets normal medical criteria for desired treatment
Patient seeking treatment or donor must be under the age of 42 unless they qualify for the Donor Egg Program
Uninsured or denied insurance coverage for the treatments and procedures.
Must be U.S. Resident
Re-qualification required every 12 months. Send in updated tax returns.
