Financial Options Make IVF More Affordable
For some patients, the high cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments puts it out of reach, and it’s not always covered by insurance. Now, with the Attain™ IVF Program at the Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin Reproductive Medicine Center, more patients will be able to afford IVF.
IVF can help many people overcome infertility, but often several expensive treatment cycles are needed before they become pregnant. The Attain IVF Program offers two pricing options that allow patients to stay in treatment longer and increase their chances of having a baby.
The first option, called the Attain IVF Refund Program, includes several tries. If the treatment doesn’t result in the delivery of a baby, patients are refunded from 70 to 100 percent of their cost, depending on the treatment, explained Estil Strawn Jr., MD, Medical College of Wisconsin obstetrician/gynecologist and director of the Reproductive Medicine Center. Patients must meet certain clinical criteria to be accepted into the refund program.
The Attain IVF Multi-Cycle Program also provides multiple IVF tries, but for a single, discounted fee, with no acceptance criteria. With the multi-cycle option, there is no refund if the patient doesn’t deliver a baby.
The Reproductive Medicine Center is one of the only centers in the Midwest to offer complete evaluation and treatment services for men and women. Its fertility specialists take a team approach to treating infertility and provide personal and compassionate care.
