If you’re just starting out on your fertility journey, figuring out how to pay for all of the testing and treatment you may need can feel daunting. For many couples and individuals seeking fertility help to start a family, the cost of treatment can seem high and stand in the way of seeking the treatment they need to start or grow their family. Luckily, there are a variety of ways patients can help may treatment more affordable.  Here, the fertility experts of Dallas Fertility Center in Dallas, Texas share four ways many couples can make fertility treatment more affordable.

Options To Make Fertility Treatment More Affordable

 

Figuring out how to pay for the fertility treatment you need to achieve the family of your dreams can feel overwhelming. Here, our team covers a few options available to patients that can help make treatment more affordable - and your dreams of family a reality.

 

Using Fertility Benefits

While a handful of insurance plans cover the cost of fertility treatment, the majority of plans do not. However, many insurance plans do cover the cost of the initial consultation and diagnostic testing. Contact your insurance company and find out what fertility benefits are included in your plan so you can see how to minimize the cost of getting the treatment you need to start your family.

Find Discount Programs

Those undergoing IVF may need more than one cycle to achieve success. Certain programs, like the Attain program at SIRM Dallas, offer discounts for packages of two or more IVF cycles, lowering the overall cost you will incur to bring home a baby.

Did You Know?

Some patients may qualify for a multi-cycle with refund program, guaranteeing you a full refund if you complete three cycles without bringing home a baby.

Utilize Trusted Fertility Lenders

Many patients cannot pay the full cost of treatment upfront. To help these patients, SIRM Dallas partners with healthcare-specific lenders who offer competitive interest rates and can help cover everything from medications to retrievals and transfers.

Applying for Non-Profit Help

There are a variety of non-profit organizations that offer grants to patients struggling to afford fertility treatments. Organizations, like RESOLVE, offer a comprehensive directory of these grant programs. While the grants may not cover the full cost of treatment, they can help lower the overall financial burden you face.

Whether you choose one of these ways to make treatment more affordable or a combination of the four, there are options available for nearly every patient.

What is Gestational Surrogacy?

  When a woman is unable to carry a baby due to physiological restrictions, she may use a gestational surrogate (GS) . The IVF clinic needs to be intimately involved and familiar with the process in order to manage a donor/surrogate cycle effectively. We work closely with a number of established egg donor/surrogacy agencies and can provide referrals.

This law bans all abortions unless the mother has “a life-threatening physical condition like an ectopic pregnancy.
