Understanding Coverage
Prior to treatment:
Prior to treatment, we encourage you to take the lead in contacting your insurance company to better understand your plan benefits.
Infertility coverage?
The first question to ask with regard to our clinic’s services is if the specific plan you have offers infertility coverage, or coverage for fertility testing.
The vast majority of plans fall into 1 of 3 categories when it comes to infertility coverage:
The plan provides no coverage whatsoever for infertility services.
Unfortunately this is often the case and means that you will be expected to pay at the time of service for any non-covered services.
The plan provides coverage for the diagnostic phase of infertility testing only.
In this scenario, the insurance plan will usually offer some coverage for a new patient consultation and generally offers some coverage for fertility testing. The treatment phase is not covered.
The plan provides coverage for the diagnostic testing phase and coverage for infertility treatment.
In these circumstances, coverage is provided for diagnostic testing and for some methods of infertility treatment. Understanding your individual coverage will help you anticipate whether or not a particular service with us is covered.
