Insurance and Fertility Treatments
Dec 2006
Hi and thanks for any information that you can offer us, we had have not the best
experience with Kaiser at Oakland, Our insurance doesn't cover infertility I can
not even pay for this separately, Kaiser business policy or wherever. My wife Oby
there, make us think that there is not hope, when there is not a test yet
confirming anything wrong. I'm dessapointed, frustrated, and getting old. I saw
the advices about fertility centers but I'm not sure to what health insurance we
should switch, anyway, if somebody can recommend us also fertility doctors would
be great, we decided to start all over. Thanks, best for you all
Jeff
Hi There!
My husband and I have 7 month-old twins and went to a wonderful fertility center called RSC out
in San Ramon (there is also one in Orinda). We worked with Dr. Galen who is the head guy there
and a real expert who's been in the field since the begining. We live in Kensington, but
strange enough the only woman I've met so far with twins near my age-- she's also in the
neighborhood-- also went to the same center and doctor! She had a very good experience there
as well. She used to attend a twins group out in Walnut Creek and most of the women in the
group were also Dr. Galen's patients.
We had Kaiser, but they discontinued fertility coverage just a few months after we began the
whole process. We ended up paying for IVF out of pocket. The cost is around 12,000 depending
on the amount of drugs you'll need. But, hey, most people spend twice that on a car . . .
You can go to RSCbayarea.com
Good luck!!
