Infertility Treatment Help

helpwithinsurance@pacbell.net asked:


I have been working as financial counselor for an infertility practice for 8 years and have been in the insurance end of healthcare for 16 years. Thinking of starting a consulting business to help patients in choosing an employer based or individual insurance plan while helping them understand insurance in laymens terms and not doubletalk. Answers to the most commonly asked questions, like, “What is the difference between an HMO, PPO or POS plan, and which should I choose based on my needs?”. I would also give help to those who have received rejected/denied insurance claims, appeal those claims and give patients tools to communicate with insurance companies effectively to get the information they need.
Would you pay for these services?
Is there a need for these types of services?
Any feedback is appreciated!!

I have heard that here are some insurance companies that have good coverage for infertility treatments. Anyone know which ones those are? Where can I get this information?

I notice often, when people looking into adoption or who have adopted, or adoptees speaking of their adoptive parents or references to people who have adopted, the story is often told of their struggle to have children on their own.

Why is this? Why is it about their infertility?

That tells me 1) they wouldn’t have chosen adoption if they had children on their own
2) they didn’t look into adoption for the benefit of the child
3) they’re not looking at it from the adoptees point of view or else they wouldn’t be introducing themselves as people who have struggled with infertility.

Does anybody else see the irony in this? Does it bother anyone else? Do you think adoption will ever be about the child?

*Disclaimer*
( i am not meaning “all” adoptions are like this, some aren’t, for the ones that are, that is what I’d like to discuss. I realize that there are some people who looked into foster care adoption to generally help a child, I realize not all ap’s are infertile. This question is directed to those using infertility as a crutch to justify adoption )
