Insurance:

At Houston Fertility Institute, we participate with a variety of health insurance plans, and we know that coverage for infertility treatments will depend on your individual plan. Your insurance provider and the specific plan selected by the subscriber's employer will determine what degree of treatment is covered. Most health insurance plans cover only "medically necessary" procedures. We encourage you to research your coverage by contacting your employer’s human resources department or your insurance company to request an explanation of specific benefits. We also have financial counselors available to assist our patients in assessing their coverage.

Paying for Fertility Treatment:

We at Houston Fertility Institute stand firmly behind each and every IVF cycle we perform, as well as our high success rates. Therefore, our Financial Assurance Plan is very different from that of other centers. HFI provides exceptional value to its patients by sharing the risk with a free second IVF cycle offer. If you do not become pregnant during the first cycle, your second cycle (and all subsequent cycles) is FREE of all HFI physician fees.

There are various financing options available through outside companies, and this can be discussed with one of our financial counselors at your initial consult. In addition, we can provide you with information on various grants and aid for fertility treatment.
