Answer

I'm so sorry I missed this. The good ones are always on weekday work hours 😣😕...anywhoo Gunce thanks for arranging these for us especially those of us that live in the DC area and already know about shady Grove as a resource in this area. I had no idea IVF is so expensive even before medication. I have city (dc amerihealth) medicaid so I know they don't work with my Insurance at all or I'm sure my insurance offers nothing on infertility coverage which sucks because my partner and I both have it. If I had any real money I would be on a self paid insurance plan or we would be able to purchase IUI or save up for IVF. But I still learned about some programs today that were not mentioned to me when I have called SG in the past to hear about financing options.

Answer

Is there any way couples considering IVF in Michigan can get any help or payment plans from you guys at shady groove ??

Answer

Other than financing, does sgf offer any financial discounts or programs for women 40 and over? Does sgf participate in studies that aren't age specific?

Answer

Hi Katie - Thank you for being here. I will start off with something very basic. How much do most patients pay out of pocket for an IVF or IUI treatment?

Answer

What is the income gap to be considered for the share program?

Answer

my question is: Are any of those guarantee programs worth it for IVF? Do you recommend those? you know waht i mean...like pay some $$ for 5 cycles, and then you get a baby or your money back? Does Shady Grove have anything like that?

Answer

What is the one thing that patients are most surprised about financially when they start their IVF journeys?
