Counseling:
Our Center
participates with several insurance plans. However, benefits for
infertility diagnosis or treatment may or may not be available under your
health insurance plan. If you do have benefits, your plan may limit your
coverage to a certain dollar amount or a specific number of treatment
cycles.
We encourage you to
fully investigate your benefits prior to the start of your treatment so
that you can make informed decisions about treatments recommended by your
doctor. For example, if you have a lifetime maximum of $5,000.00 for
artificial insemination and in-vitro fertilization, you may choose a more
aggressive treatment regimen to optimize your lifetime benefit.
Furthermore, we strongly recommend you obtain written verification of your
benefits in order to minimize misunderstandings which can become
quite costly to you. We will be happy to assist you in writing a letter
to verify your benefits.
If the lack of insurance is a concern, the Family Fertility Center offers
several financial options that can be of assistance to you, including
global treatment fees, Partners in IVF Program, Multi-Cycle Discount
Program, the 100% Refund Donor Oocyte Program as well as financing
through
Capital One Healthcare Finance. Our experienced financial team is
available to explain the costs of treatment as well as the various
program options.
For couples with no insurance who require assisted reproductive
technologies (ART), we offer three innovative treatment programs:
1)
Partners in IVF Program:
Couples meeting
the eligibility requirements may attempt up to four IVF cycles for a
flat fee of $30,000. If you achieve a viable pregnancy – that is, a liveborn baby of at least 26 weeks gestation -- on the first attempt,
you will pay more with this program than the traditional fee-for-service
payment option. However, if all four attempts are unsuccessful, the
Family Fertility Center will refund you 50% of your $30,000 fee. Hence,
the name “partners”.
2) The Multi-Cycle Discount Program:
Couples may attempt
three cycles for the cost of two. The only eligibility requirement is no
insurance coverage. The cost is $20,000. If you achieve a pregnancy on
the first cycle, we’ll refund you $8,000. If you do not achieve a viable
pregnancy on the second attempt, you are eligible for a third cycle at
no additional charge for included services.
3) The 100% Refund Donor Oocyte Program:
Eligible couples requiring donor oocytes may attempt up to three cycles
of IVF and any associated frozen embryo transfers in order to achieve
pregnancy and take home a baby. The program fee is $25,000, plus a
non-refundable $8,000 fee per fresh cycle. If the couple does not have a liveborn baby of at least 26 weeks gestation after all fresh and frozen
embryo transfers, the Family Fertility Center will refund the couple
$25,000.
NOTE: Specific inclusions and exclusions
apply to all three programs. Call our office today to schedule an
appointment with our financial team to discuss how one of these options
may benefit you.
