Closing Current Gaps within Fertility Benefits and Care
Janet Choi, M.D., spotlights the vital role of patient advocates in navigating fertility benefits and tackling care access gaps exacerbated by economic barriers, inadequate coverage and lack of emotional support throughout assisted reproductive treatment.
This is a video synopsis/summary of a Population Health Perspectives® involving Janet Choi, M.D.
Choiemphasizes that fertility coverage alone overwhelms many patients; robust support translates benefits into action. Her company assigns a dedicated patient care advocate to guide each member from onboarding through the family building, pregnancy and postpartum periods. This holistic education and emotional backing yield informed, empowered patients ready to pursue needed testing and treatments, unlike those lacking such navigation. Payers should also fill care gaps with doula coverage given data revealing dramatically reduced maternal morbidity, mortality and complications. As reproductive medicine continues advancing, integrated patient-centered teams will likely become essential to actualize scientific promise for vulnerable populations through complicated transitions. Comprehensive medical and psychosocial support can mean the difference between life and death.
