- Monitoring — cycle bloodwork, ultrasounds, and visits
- Lab and anesthesia — embryology lab work, retrieval, and outside lab fees
- Embryo testing — genetic testing (PGT) when used
- Donor services — donor eggs, sperm, or gestational carrier coordination
- Insurance plan design — coverage, network rules, and benefit limits
- Financing — payment plans, multi-cycle packages, and refund programs
Questions to ask this clinic
