At PAMF Fertility, you will have a personal financial navigator who will be pleased to address your questions on insurance coverage, obtaining maximum benefits, treatment fees, and out-of-pocket expenses. While it’s your responsibility to fully understand your insurance coverage, we will do our best to provide you with accurate, timely information.
Your financial navigator will give you specific information about your coverage, help you understand any requirements you may have in order to maximize your insurance benefits, explain the fees related to your treatment plan, and provide estimates of what you may expect to pay out-of-pocket. Your navigator can also help you identify alternatives for making treatment as affordable as possible and for managing treatment costs.
Call (800) 597-2234 to connect with a fertility financial navigator Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, option 4 followed by option 1.
For billing inquiries, call (800) 597-2234, option 4 followed by option 2.
If you have insurance, there is a good possibility you’ll have coverage for at least some portion of your fertility treatment or diagnostics, whether in-network or out of network. If you do not wish to use insurance to pay for treatment, there are treatment packages for many of our services that include a discount on the bundled services.
Lack of insurance coverage should not be a barrier to fertility care. PAMF offers a 20 percent uninsured self-pay discount. This can significantly lower your cost if you do not have insurance, or, if your health insurance does not cover infertility services. Some conditions apply.
Discount applies to all services that are not covered by insurance. Payment must be made in full at the time of service when the discount is applied.
PAMF Fertility is contracted with a wide variety of insurance providers. Please visit our Health Plans page to see the latest list of insurance plans accepted by PAMF Fertility Physicians of Northern California.
Many insurance companies now require patients to register with their fertility program in order to qualify for fertility benefits. Check with your health insurer to see if it requires registration in a special fertility program.
Members of HMO plans must obtain prior authorization for fertility services in order for those services to be considered for reimbursement by your insurance plan. Without prior authorization, your HMO may hold you financially responsible. ,
To obtain prior authorization follow these steps:
Each insurance company covers infertility differently. Some insurance companies do not cover all fertility services or have requirements that must be met before benefits are eligible. For example, your insurer may consider infertility to be 12 months of attempted conception.
Contact your insurance company to learn about your fertility benefits.
Before visiting a fertility specialist or having a treatment cycle, please have the following information:

You should contact your insurer in writing and request a written determination of your exact coverage amount prior to receiving any procedure. Your insurer may require you to obtain commitment of coverage for a specific medical service before you start treatment, called preauthorization or predetermination. When writing a letter to your insurer, include the following:
Below are insurance questions that you should consider before seeking treatment.
Also examine your insurer’s prescription drug plan because fertility medications are often costly. It is important to understand your drug benefits prior to starting any treatment.
