How much does it cost?
I want to preface this with I don’t like to publicize financial stuff or medical information, but if this helps someone else it’s worth it. Also, I am not complaining, it’s worth every penny and every frustration. Anyway, here’s some info in case anyone else out there is trying to google “cost of fertility workup” “cost of infertility tests” “genetic tests”. Especially since insurance doesn’t cover anything coded “infertility”. Our insurance has been good so far, our doctor has been coding everything right (recurrent loss investigation) so it’s been covered, thank you God! Thought I’d put this out there just case it helps anyone else out who’s out there on this crazy journey….
