Shaping Fertility Coverage: Access, Costs & Medical Needs
Janet Choi, M.D., examines enhancing the fertility patient experience and medical access from preconception through birth by reducing delays and barriers across the assisted reproductive treatment journey.
This is a video synopsis/summary of a Population Health Perspectives® involving Janet Choi, M.D.
The video spotlights adopting value-based rather than dollar-cap models as the most pivotal coverage intervention for payers offering fertility benefits. Smart cycle support eliminates patient anxiety over treatment costs that distort clinical decisions. Choi’s company connects over 90% of its users with its integrated ProgynyRx pharmacy for seamless, next-day medication delivery and nursing support to prevent complex injection misuse and thousands of dollars in waste. This comprehensive approach also incorporates preconception through postpartum care. Early education around lifestyle and sexually transmitted infection risk reduction could circumvent later tubal factor infertility. Still, given infertility’s rising prevalence, Choienvisions a perfect world where no one requires medical help conceiving as current reality dictates ongoing assistance. Therefore the goal involves engaging younger members on preserving reproductive health before issues arise, then supporting those who have completed childbearing through menopause while addressing associated conditions like cardiovascular disease affecting older female employees.
