ABSTRACT

Before any medical services are provided, it is essential that the patient’s insurance coverage be investigated. This is a dual responsibility of both the patient and the medical practice. This will help to insure that any services that are rendered will be properly reimbursed and will eliminate the chance that the patient will receive any unexpected bills. Some of the important insurance issues in the US regarding infertility services are discussed below. In addition, guidelines for current procedural terminology (CPT) coding for infertility services are presented.
