Gaining information about affordable fertility care
Knowledge is power, so our Central Texas fertility centers will give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your fertility treatments. Our billing specialists will help ease the financial burden by helping you understand your insurance coverage so that you can get the most out of any fertility treatment benefit that you have. They will also work diligently to find any relevant discount programs that you qualify for, so you can focus on growing your family.
Understanding fertility insurance
Insurance coverage for fertility care can be confusing. Many policies cover diagnostic testing but not fertility treatment. Our Austin fertility center will contact your insurance carrier to determine your fertility benefits. However, our billing specialists also recommend that you use the following documents that we have developed so that you can find out what is and isn’t covered by your insurance before you begin fertility treatment.
- Insurance Benefit Questionnaire for Patients: A list of questions to ask your insurance provider/carrier to determine your coverage.
- Sample Letter of Pre-Determination: A form letter to send to your insurance provider/carrier asking for written documentation of your coverage. Written documentation is very important, as many carriers’ employees do not understand the benefits themselves and they often make mistakes.
As part of our commitment to providing affordable fertility care, TFC has contracts with many managed care health plans, and we are happy to file all claims for covered services with our contracted insurance carriers. For non-contracted health plans, we will provide you with a detailed receipt of services so that you can submit it directly to your insurance carrier in order to maximize any reimbursement that you may qualify for.
