Does having kaiser mean they will send me to a fertility clinic?

Question

Anyone dealt with fertility issues and have kaiser? Are they quicker to pawn you off on a fertility specialist? Are the obgyn's told not to deal with different meds for fertility? Or are they willing to help and give necessary treatments or meds?  Any experiences are greatly appreciated!

Answer

What's called 'Kaiser'????

Answer

I have no direct experience with Kaiser, but with most insurance companies, you'll do preliminary testing with your OB/Gyn (blood/hormone levels, HSG, sperm analysis, etc) and then get a referral to a Fertility Clinic, depending on the results. If I were you, I'd get as much work done at the OB/Gyns as possible, because insurance is likely to cover more of it. Once at a Fertility Clinic, insurance pay outs drop off drastically.
