Have Anthem HDP plan and starting IVF process. Working with Shady Grove and man it’s expensive. The medications itself after insurance is $9,000 and Shady Grove’s fee another $5,000. Is that expected? I did not enroll in the Bright Beginnings Program, would that have saved some $?

100000000% enroll in bright beginnings before you do anything. It is the only way to get your $25k procedure / $15k medication benefit

I also went through the same scare I went through 2 retrievals and I switched to out of pocket for Gonal f since round 1. I have felt it’s better than insurance which said I would run out of 15k plus owe them 3k more( I had a couple iuis that costed me a portion of it) I switched to smp out of pocket fully for round 2 n even got less medication than prescribed.its scary but I had 2 900 pens from round 1 so I took a chance. All the luck and best wishes to you!!

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
