Rancho Mirage, CA, April 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New Life Agency is pleased to announce the addition of HRC Fertility, the largest IVF center west of the Mississippi, to their revolutionary Assisted Reproduction Insurance Program® (ARI).
HRC Fertility has eight Southern California locations in Encino, Fullerton, Laguna Hills, Newport Beach, Oceanside, Pasadena, Westlake Village and West Los Angeles, bringing today's advanced in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology within reach of millions more hoping to build a family.
Now with 11 ARI preferred provider centers in the New York/New Jersey Area and much of Southern California, New Life Agency continues to build its network of ARI centers helping patients with infertility and providing IVF insurance programs.
While California is one of only 15 states mandating that group healthcare insurers offer coverage of infertility treatment, coverage for IVF is not required. IVF is a complex, specialized - and costly - process. As a result, many group health plans either exclude or severely limit coverage for what may be the last hope for many people faced with the heartbreak of infertility. New Life Agency offers some of the best financial solutions in the country for the ever-rising costs of IVF treatments, procedures and fertility medications to patients suffering from infertility.
New Life Agency is the only company specializing exclusively in Assisted Reproduction Insurance®. The breakthrough ARI program provides a tremendous cost savings, as well as peace of mind, to patients in need of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The average cost for IVF is roughly $12,000 and is generally only for one cycle. The use of frozen embryos is typically not included in the cost and could result in another $3,000 for a frozen embryo transfer (FET).
People with New Life's ARI program pay one global fee upfront for their IVF treatments. The ARI program includes both FET, as well as fresh cycles, and patients pay nothing else out of pocket for the entire IVF fertility program (18 months and includes insurance, consults, fertility treatment, testing and service within the chosen ARI Program Plan).
"We are pleased to add HRC Fertility to our growing list of ARI providers," said Trish Taylor, President and Founder of New Life Agency. "We are passionate about the need to ensure that the tens of thousands of women who consult reproductive specialists every year have access to every medical option available to them. With the addition of the eight HRC Fertility clinics throughout Southern California, we are another step closer to making IVF treatments affordable for many more patients, so that they, too, can realize the dream of building a family."
New Life Agency's ARI Program also offers patients discounted prescriptions with the Fertility Pharmacy Care Card® through Walgreens and manages the patients' billing, along with providing top-notch customer service with ARI insurance consults, policy enrollment and program fulfillment. The card saves IVF patients $100.00 for each $1,000.00 purchase of stimulation medication with a $25.00 gift card to any Walgreens location.
