At OC Fertility + OC Biogenix, a woman-owned fertility clinic in Orange County, California, we understand that the cost of fertility treatments can be a significant barrier for many individuals and couples. Financial constraints should not stand in the way of your dream to build a family. That’s why we are committed to helping you explore various financial assistance programs and options to make fertility treatments more accessible and affordable.

Understanding Plan Benefits for Fertility Coverage

Before diving into financial assistance programs and other financial options, it’s crucial to understand your insurance coverage for fertility treatments. At OC Fertility + OC Biogenix, we will always offer a complimentary insurance review, but in we also encourage you to reach out directly to your insurance provider for complete coverage details. 

Your insurance provider can provide you with a copy of your policy that will highlight what is covered, from diagnostic testing to medications and procedures such as IUI and IVF. Some insurance plans may not cover all of these services, and it’s important to be educated about that information as you embark on your fertility journey.

For those with fertility benefits, it’s also important to review the out-of-pocket expenses, such as co-pays, deductibles, caps on coverage, and certain procedures or testing that might not be covered under the plan. Once you fully understand coverage, it will help you determine the next steps. 

For those without coverage or who have limited coverage, you can try to advocate for yourself and talk to your employer about adding coverage benefits down the road. This is also a good time to explore alternative financing options.

Fertility Financing Options

Several companies offer financing options specifically designed for fertility treatments. These programs can help you manage the cost by spreading it out over time and are companies that understand the nature of fertility treatment, so they can better work with your timelines and needs.
