THIS SHARED FINANCIAL RISK PROGRAM FOR FERTILITY SERVICES was developed as a creative alternative to the traditional payment method for medical services and treatment associated with assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The traditional payment method (which of course we also offer to you) requires payment for each treatment cycle regardless of outcome. Patients have expressed concern about the cost of multiple treatment cycles and the uncertainty regarding outcome. For an agreed upon fee to George Washington (GW) Medical Faculty Associates (MFA), INC you are allowed up to 6 stimulated IVF treatment cycles and the use of cryopreservaton on order to achieve one (1) successful pregnancy which ends with the birth of a live born baby. The Shared Financial Risk agreement is completed with either withdrawal, completion of the 6 IVF cycles (and transfer of any cryopreserved embryos if applicable) or the birth of a live born baby, whichever comes first. If you do not deliver a live born baby with this treatment, 100% of the fee will be refunded to you. We offer this program as evidence that our confidence in our success rates. This Shared Financial Risk Program is offered selectively to couples who have completed a full medical prescreening and are considered good ART candidates by GW-MFA, Inc. Many health insurance plans cover ART in some form, to a greater or lesser extent. You should check with your own insurance carrier to determine whether or not you are covered for IVF. We may assist you with your inquiry, but we cannot be responsible for determining whether or not you are covered for IVF. Generally, this Shared Financial Risk Program is for couples without insurance coverage.
