What does a fertility planning visit include?

Fertility planning visits are a chance for clients to identify their fertility goals and make a plan for conception. These visits typically include a review of a person’s fertility data or education about how to chart and interpret one’s fertility cycle. We will discuss supplementation, laboratory and genetic testing, timing of pregnancy, and pre-existing health concerns and their impacts on conception and pregnancy, and any other questions you have about conceiving.

How can insemination happen at home?

People choosing insemination can have IUI or ICI done in their own home. A visit is scheduled to review history, assess fertility patterns, and explore options for conception. Once we have established a pattern of fertility we work together to create a plan for conception.

How much does fertility planning or insemination cost?

Fertility planning visits are billed at $180 per initial visit and $120 for follow up visits. Fees for insemination services depend on location and case details and are established as part of planning.

Will insurance pay for insemination?

Insurance coverage varies. If you are considering insemination services contact your insurance company for more details. I do not bill insurance companies directly, but can provide clients with a superbill that they can submit to request reimbursement.
