At
Reproductive Partners, we believe in success. Our expert physicians and
staff have well over twenty years of experience and are dedicated to using
our knowledge and expertise to maximize your chances to achieve your dream
of having a baby.
Our financial program, called the SUCCESS PROGRAM is based
on the philosophy that couples capable of getting pregnant with IVF usually
do so within the first three cycles.
The
Reproductive Partners SUCCESS PROGRAM is really very simple. If you pay
our regular standard Global Rate for each of two complete IVF cycles at
Reproductive Partners, transfer all embryos from those cycles, including
frozen embryos, without achieving a viable12 week pregnancy your third
IVF cycle at Reproductive Partners will be provided free for the same
basic IVF procedures as in the first two cycles. Patients who have insurance
coverage for IVF are not eligible.
There will be no age limits, no higher up-front fees as
in money-back guarantee programs, no pre-payment for the second cycle
until the first is completed, no mandatory procedures like hysteroscopy
or IVIG injections and no arbitrary cancellations. If we determine that
you are a candidate for and complete at least two cycles of IVF you may
participate in the program. We expect our patients to succeed, and when
success does not come quickly, we will go the extra mile for you.
