Fertility Financing & Grants
If your insurance does not cover infertility treatments
We have been helping individuals, and couples from all different backgrounds build their families for decades. Over the years, we have come to understand and empathize with how the time-sensitive nature of the treatments we offer, as well as how the limited insurance coverage in Ohio for fertility treatments, can make it difficult for most patients to afford the treatment they need to do when they want to do it.
If you struggle with the financial pressures of affording fertility treatment, we want you to know that you are not alone and that your situation is not hopeless. On this page, you will find a collection of resources that we know have been able to help other patients like you who found themselves in a similar situation in the past.
We recognize that even if you have some insurance benefits in your plan, there might be additional, unexpected expenses with certain medications or certain procedures that are not covered. This is why the resources gathered below may be applicable to you, whether your insurance coverage covers either no part of your infertility treatment or only part of it. If you know all of your options, you will be more empowered to make the right decisions for you and proceed with the treatment that feels right for your goals.
Please take a look at this list of potential resources as a start, and then do not hesitate to come back to us with any questions!
Note: We do not endorse any of these entities, nor can we guarantee that your application will be successful. This is simply a list of resources that we make available to you based on reviews from patients and colleagues.
