With IVF Procedures Down Across the US, Fertility Centers of Illinois Offers
Patients a Unique Multiple Treatment Program Designed To Increase IVF Success,
With a Guarantee of a Baby or a 70% Refund
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
A new study has confirmed anecdotal reports that the recession has caused a
decline in fertility treatments across the country. With price being the major
deterrent, the report indicates that assisted reproductive technology (ART) such
as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is sought mostly by affluent, educated,
Caucasian women and forecasts a 5% decline in IVF procedures by the end of 2009.


In an effort to help all patients afford treatment and significantly boost their
chance of pregnancy success, Fertility Centers of Illinois (FCI) has announced
the Attain IVF Refund Program; a unique treatment option designed to increase
the odds of a baby for infertility patients, by offering an affordable
course-of-treatment approach. The program promises patients a baby, or most of
their money back (70%) - guaranteed. 

While Illinois law requires group insurance plans and health maintenance
organizations (HMOs) to provide coverage for infertility, many patients do not
have adequate coverage and financial anxieties further complicate the decision
to seek necessary treatment - especially during these tough economic times.
Offering high success treatment, financing options, and a refund guarantee, the
unique program eliminates many of the stressors and financial concerns which
prevent couples from pursuing the ongoing treatment they require. 

Dr. Angeline Beltsos, medical director of the Fertility Centers of Illinois
explains that when patients undergo IVF once, they may have a 30% chance of
success, however committing to multiple cycles can more than double their
chances of pregnancy. "The program enables patients to afford to stay in
treatment longer, and is proving to be a huge success with 75% of couples
fulfilling their family building dreams of having a baby," she says. 

Additional Program Information:

* Many infertility patients drop out of treatment too early due to financial
concerns and don`t realize their dream of having a baby 
* 60% of IVF patients under the age of 35, and almost 70% of patients aged 35-37
may need more than one IVF cycle to have a baby 
* Nearly 50% of donor egg recipients may need more than one IVF treatment cycle
to have a baby 
* Attain provides multiple IVF treatment cycles for one discounted fixed fee 
* They receive up to 6 cycles (3 IVF and 3 frozen embryo transfers) 
* If they don`t have a baby, they`re guaranteed a refund - 70% for IVF treatment
procedures 
* Special program for patients using donor eggs - up to 100% refund 
* Three out of four participants who complete the program have a baby
