Infertility Treatment

This information is provided to help you understand your financial responsibilities for infertility services provided by Overlake Ob/Gyn. Most patients have insurance that covers some of the diagnostic services for the determination of fertility. Once a diagnosis of infertility has been determined most insurance carriers do not provide benefits. In some cases your employer may have purchased an additional rider. Policies vary on which services are covered and what diagnosis supports the services rendered.

The initial visit/consultation will take approximately 60 minutes and will include a review of your history and medical records; evaluation and outline of working treatment plan; and an opportunity for you to get all your questions answered. The typical episode of care is three to six months and normally consists of two visits and two ultrasounds per cycle. Approximately 10% of patients require a 3rd visit and 3rd ultrasound per cycle.

We will need to send you to an outside laboratory for a one time extensive blood workup for infertility during the initial cycle. Additionally, routine hormone levels will be drawn as needed per cycle. The lab will bill independently for these services.

We ask that you please contact your carrier for infertility benefits. If you have a managed care plan please request a referral from your primary care provider for six months of care. If you have no benefits for testing and diagnosis we ask that you pay at the time of service for all treatment. You may contact our Billing Department at 425-454-6674 to obtain an estimate of our fees.
