Fertility Preservation As A Benefit Package

MCRM Fertility, through the Institute of Fertility Preservation (IFP) , offers fertility preservation for both male and female patients including

• Egg Freezing
• Sperm Freezing
• Embryo Freezing

But why does a patient opt to preserve their fertility? Often, it is to preserve the fertility for future use after battling through a serious illness and its associated treatment such as for cancer. For some, especially those with low ovarian reserve, it is to secure one’s fertility. For others, it is simply to preserve a youthful fertility for use at latter age when one is READY to have children and avoiding the threat of time and the biological clock ticking ahead. Recently, news from the Silicon Valley in California broke about two major tech giants, Apple andFacebook , beginning to offer, as a benefit package, coverage for not just fertility treatments but also fertility preservation. This is designed to attract qualified individuals into their workforce without them worrying about when they must have children. They can now begin their carreer and delay child birth with more of a relaxed thought knowing their fertility has been preserved. Here at MCRM, we have seen an increase in more insurance plans offering coverage for infertility but we have not yet seen other businesses offering a specific benefit package such as this. It will definately be interesting to see if this becomes a trend that begins to increase over the next several years. Fox Business Story CNN Money Story]]>
