NYS Infertility Demonstration Program
Are You Eligible To Receive a Grant from New York
State for your IVF treatment?
If you possess insurance but do not have infertility coverage or have
exhausted your infertility benefits, you may qualify to receive
financial assistance for your in
vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment through the New York State
Infertility Demonstration Program.
In 2002, New York State passed
legislation to provide this Infertility Demonstration Program, which is
allocated to select centers meeting high standards of IVF
success rates
and patient volume. Reproductive
Medicine Associates of New York is among these select centers
selected to participate in the infertility grant to provide funding to
eligible patients in need of infertility treatment. The grant helps
subsidize payments for most services associated with IVF, including
patient assessment (1 allowed per patient for the life of the grant) and
the IVF cycle (maximum of 2 complete cycles for the life of the grant).
The amount of treatment funding provided to the eligible
individual/couple is based on the individual/couple's combined household
income; coverage can range from 2.5% up to 97.5% of IVF treatment costs.
Infertility treatment services that may be covered within the cycle
are:
Exclusions from this treatment subsidy
include ovum donation
fees, ovulation induction, general gynecologic care,
preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), and surgery.
