Abstract:
Infertility is a common condition which causes substantial patient distress and prompts patients to seek care in outpatient gynecologic offices. The evaluation and treatment of infertility can be costly and insurance coverage for these services varies widely. Obstetrician-gynecologists and other women's health care professionals often struggle with the approach for patients without insurance coverage for infertility care. This article reviews the status of insurance coverage for infertility services, reviews options for both the evaluation and management of infertility for patients who do not have infertility insurance coverage, and provides resources for ongoing advocacy and support for these patients.
