New Life Agency, Inc. Expands Nation's First In Vitro Fertilization Insurance Program

Posted by article at 2:54 AM
New Life Agency, Inc. today announced that it has added Pacific Fertility Center-Los Angeles to its Assisted Reproduction Insurance Program® (ARI) preferred provider network. Together, with Pacific Fertility Center-Los Angeles and The Diamond Institute IVF Center-New York, ARI continues to offer some of the best financial solutions in the country for the ever-rising costs of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, procedures and fertility medications to patients suffering from infertility.

ARI provides negotiated contract rates with board-certified obstetrics, gynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility physicians to insure patients' fertility treatments, complications and provide full maternity insurance. ARI combines insurance coverage with a fertility medication discount plan that can save Pacific Fertility Center's patients more than 50 percent on the cost of standard services, totaling thousands of dollars over the average treatment term. In addition, the program offers hundreds of dollars in discounts on fertility medications through Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy. The innovative program goes beyond the traditional IVF shared risk program offered by some IVF centers by aggregating the cost of consultations, testing, complication insurance, IVF treatments, surgical treatments and medications to offer additional savings.

Pacific Fertility Center-Los Angeles was founded more than 10 years ago by the team that pioneered the nation's first private in vitro fertilization center. Since that time, Pacific Fertility Center's physicians have introduced a number of innovations in the treatment of infertility, and have been at the forefront in defining standards of care and accountability. The sole owner, medical director and world renowned reproductive endocrinologist, Vick Sahakian, MD, along with his colleagues, pioneered one of the most revolutionary financial programs in modern medicine where the doctor was willing to assume risk. Today, by joining The ARI Program, the insurer, the physician and the fertility medication is sharing the risk in treating women with infertility. Dr. Sahakian has performed over 6,000 IVF procedures and is responsible for the birth of more than 4,000 babies worldwide.

The ARI Program offers multiple plan choices, according to the IVF physician utilized within the preferred provider network for individual fertility needs allowing the patient to move through their process to pregnancy fully aware of the total out of pocket cost. If pregnancy is not achieved, the program offers refunds and credits during the 18-month enrollment term.

New Life leveraged its industry-leading insurance offerings as a Lloyd's of London Broker along with its own licensed, third-party administration company, New World Administrators, Inc. to forge the unique preferred provider contracted network solely with infertility doctors and facilities/centers.

Trish Taylor, president of New Life Agency, announced, "Our growing success with Assisted Reproduction Insurance Programs like ARI is a testament to healthcare reform today. People who have no infertility insurance or limited coverage now have options. Patients facing infertility issues need insurance when this risk occurs. New Life Agency is committed to help control infertility costs and fill the gap traditional insurances don't provide. We are honored to have such an innovative leader and doctor as Vick Sahakian join our network. Our commitment to work together will help patients lower their risk and stress so they may concentrate on what matters most, creating their family."

Vick, Sahakian, MD, owner and medical director of The Pacific Fertility Center-LA said today, "The ARI program continues my efforts to forever change the way we practice medicine in the field of reproductive sciences."

Enyde Polesuk, vice president of product development, fertility services, for Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy added, "Our goal is to offer personalized fertility pharmacy services along with the best possible support for these very specialized pharmacy needs. We're pleased to be a part of this first-of-its-kind cost solution and look forward to making our services more accessible than ever for hopeful parents-to-be."
