Insurance:

Typically, the first question we are asked by patients is, "Are you participating with my insurance?" Although the Center for Advanced Reproductive Medicine & Fertility participates in most plans, a simple "Yes or No" may mislead many patients. The most important question should be, "Do I have coverage for the treatment of infertility?" since there are still many patients in New Jersey without insurance coverage for infertility treatment. In these cases it does not matter if the fertility doctor is a "non-par" (non-participating provider) or "par" since infertility treatment will be an out-of-pocket expense. If this is your situation, the Center has several options to help you afford your treatment with us.

Paying for Fertility Treatment:

The Center for Advanced Reproductive Medicine & Fertility has in place an IVF Refund Plan for couples with no insurance coverage for IVF therapy. This financial plan will refund the majority of the fees a couple pay if they do not achieve a pregnancy following IVF treatment.
