The Missing Piece of the Fertility Puzzle
The Missing Piece of the Fertility Puzzle

When we talk about fertility, the focus is often placed on the ovaries and the uterus. Yet sperm-related factors contribute to nearly half of all cases of infertility. Whether someone is navigating fertility care alone or with a partner, and whether building a family through intercourse, IVI, IUI or IVF, it’s vital to include sperm health in the picture.

Multiple-Procedure Claim Reductions?
Multiple-Procedure Claim Reductions?

If a health care provider performs multiple procedures during a single patient encounter, Medicare (and many commercial insurers) typically will pay “full price” for only the highest-valued procedure.
