Good News Everyone!


Hello! 

I want to share some wonderful news to start off our holiday weekend. Some background real quick: our insurance company set us up with a caseworker through The Reproductive Resources Services. Our case workers name is Diane. She will be there along the way to answer any questions we have about medications and whatnot. I am sure we will utilize the fertility center for most of that, but it's always good to have another resource.

We spoke with her this afternoon and explained our situation. Previously we were told that our insurance will only cover part of IVF if you have been trying to get pregnant for over one year and have been diagnosed as infertile. While this is still mostly true, they will cover consultations, testing and other routine appointments.We also found out today that they will sometimes cover PGD for qualifying conditions. (I'm pretty sure this means conditions that will inevitably cost them more money in the long run) Anyway, EB is on the list and they will pay 80% of our PGD costs!!! This is exciting news as the PGD will add upwards of $5000 to already increasing IVF costs.

There are only 2 PGD clinics that are in network and neither of them are anywhere near us. One of them is in New Jersey and the other in California. We will have to talk to The Fertility Center to see if they will work with one of these clinics. One more question to add to the growing list.

Hopefully everyone  has some fun plans for the holiday weekend. I am on call for work, which isn't the most fun way to spend the weekend, but I still get Monday off! Enjoy!

  1. Do you have any genetic disorders that you’re worried your child might inherit? Now, you can avoid making painful decisions, thanks to PGD testing. In Mumbai, IVF Spring is one of the leading clinics for PGD and PGS testing, in which the embryos collected during the IVF cycle are tested for various inherited disorders, and embryos that have the gene are not considered for implantation. This helps prevent genetic birth defects in children. PGD tests for a specific disease, which is great for parents who carry specific genetic disorders. PGS is more general, and tests for various disorders, which is normally recommended for mature couples, as well as women who face multiple miscarriages, to determine the cause. Our team of expert doctors work together to diagnose issues, as well as perform treatment procedures. Our success rates are among the highest in the market, along with a 96% satisfaction rate from our clients. We believe in personalized and customized care, where couples can freely come to us with queries or concerns, so that treatment is easy and stress free. Choose IVF Spring for your PGD and PGS testing, and ensure that your child has the best possible quality of life.
