When it comes to infertility treatment, cost can be a determining factor whether treatment continues. Maybe you have had patients who stopped or never started treatment due to the price of medication.
Did you know that cost is the primary reason patients stop treatment?1 Especially when the average US fertility patient receives more than 3 cycles of IVF per year.2
In these instances, assistance is key. As you are caring for your patients, remember that EMD Serono provides several financial assistance programs to help patients reach their goals.
