Mira Aubuchon have nearly 30-years of combined experience specializing in fertility care and in performing IVF. Our experience and knowledge has allowed us to devise unique, optimal protocols and packages. Over the last couple of decades, I have seen an evolution of IVF from simplistic protocols such as “mini-IVF” and “micro-IVF” ( which I largely originally developed) and other low stimulation protocols that have been around for many years. Over time, the introduction of scientific developments and medication alterations have allowed for additional progress to be had. Result, multiple items have changed over the last couple of decades that have allowed for the improvement in outcomes and in making the whole process of IVF easier. Additionally, in many cases, costs have been reduced, too. With the advent of multiple variations in treatment how do you know which is the “best” way. From a medical perspective, the “best” way basically involves that process which offers the best success potential in the most expeditious and efficient manner. From a patient perspective, the “best” way of doing IVF not only entails the concept of improved outcomes, but also the “best” way would include lower costs, fewer shots/medication, etc, combining an overall easier process with the highest success potential. This is exactly what we have devised and no doubt the MCRM protocols and packages are designed to provide optimal outcome in the most efficient, expeditious manner making the process easier and more affordable for patients. There are fewer injectable medications utilized and less medications overall, thus, lower costs. With these protocols, there are reduced medical complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), faster recovery time and a faster time back to normalcy, as well. The packages we offer are inclusive and are not “a la carte”, reducing hidden increase costs. When one compares IVF treatment, apples to apples, MCRM packages are lower cost and significantly higher values versus other options available. MCRM offers multiple plan options to assist patients in providing the “best” one for their situation; both, medically and financially. This includes assisted timed intercourse, intrauterine insemination (IUI), low-stimulation IVF cycles, IVF with per-implantation genetic screening (PGS) and the A.R.C.H refund plans, as well. The A.R.C.H. plans provide confidence and assurance in your treatment and financial plan and in the event there fails to be a success, then patients are entitled to a refund of medical expenditures, up to 100%. Plus, MCRM offers a wide variety of discount programs, too, to assist in lowering costs for the patient. Hopefully, this is helpful information and please feel free to contact me directly ( PAhlering@MCRMFertility.com), as a consultation is really necessary to understand all of these concepts and develop the most ideal plan for any couple.
