Affording Care

- social information if applicable
We understand that the cost of fertility services can be a deciding factor in whether you can proceed with treatment. Your out-of-pocket cost for diagnostic testing and treatment can vary depending on many factors, including your insurance coverage, the details of your treatment(s), and the number of attempts. Emory Reproductive Center accepts all major health insurance, but different policies have different benefits. Each case is unique.
You should review your level of coverage before beginning care to make sure you understand what your plan will and will not cover. Our financial counselors and client experience coordinators will walk you through the process and help you navigate the system.
Please bring a photo ID and your insurance card to your first visit. If insurance does not cover the cost of your initial consultation, payment will be due at the time of service.
Financing Options
Financing for fertility testing and treatment is available through ARC Fertility. ARC Fertility offers financing plans that let you combine the cost of multiple services into one monthly payment. You may also finance your care through the lender of your choice if you prefer that option. Please ask your financial counselor for details.
