Rancho Mirage, CA, Aug. 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New Life Agency, Inc. has been a trailblazer in making infertility treatment available to more and more people the world over. The company's innovative Assisted Reproductive Insurance Program® (ARI) has been nothing short of revolutionary in its comprehensive, affordable coverage for maternity, in vitro fertilization treatment, patients, intended parents, surrogates and egg donors.
Now, immediately following its recent dramatic price reductions across its broad offering of insurance programs, New Life is once again breaking new ground. It's new IVF Insurance Payment Plan Programsm is the only one of its kind in the U.S., and available to patients and hopeful parents across the globe:
Under the IVF Insurance Payment Plan Program:
- Couples pay $4,000 down, and $299 per month for 18 months, for one IVF cycle.
- In-clinic benefits include: consultation, ovarian reserve testing, semen testing, uterus testing, ultrasound examinations, hormonal testing during stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer, one serum hCG level to determine pregnancy.
- If the initial IVF cycle does not result in a pregnancy, patients can choose between two additional treatment options at no additional cost: (1) Frozen embryo transfer cycles using all of the remaining frozen embryos from the initial IVF cycle, or (2) Two additional fresh cycles excluding frozen embryo transfers.
- $250,000 Complications Insurance
- Patients choose their own physician, no 'network' restrictions
"What we're offering is truly a first," said Trish Taylor, New Life President and Founder. "An insurance program that not only covers the in vitro fertilization, but also complications that may occur - with a no-interest payment plan. Our claims division and customer care advocates will contract with any physician of the patients choice in the U.S. so patients do not have to choose from a list of 'in-network' IVF specialists; And to offer additional savings patients may also receive $100 discount on each $1,000 of stimulation medication through our Fertility Pharmacy Care Card®, which is in itself a tremendous savings."
"The bottom line for us has always been to find new ways to bring infertility technology within reach of people everywhere by offering more choices and greater affordability. We are continually rolling out new products that are entirely unique in the marketplace," added Gary Hickox, New Life CEO.
New Life Agency will unveil the program at the Alternative Parenting Show in London, England on Saturday, September 15, 2012. The one-day event is the largest show of its kind, with a host of exhibitors, seminars and industry experts on hand to provide information and support to same-sex couples, heterosexual couples and individuals dreaming of having a family.
"It's our first appearance at the London Show, and an important step for us," said Hickox, "50 percent of the couples we serve reside outside the U.S. The global reach of New Life Agency is allowing us to help create healthy families in countries around the world."
