Alliance For Fertility Preservation Inc

Programs: Fertility scout was designed specifically for those seeking fertility preservation services. While general infertility service directories may exist, this tool is focused specifically on the needs of the patient seeking fertility preservation. All providers have submitted information about their fertility preservation experience and the special services that they offer. Most importantly, they understand the urgent timeline facing these patients and have agreed: 1. ) to designate one "fertility preservation contact" who is in charge of these referrals; and 2. ) to contact the patient directly within 48 hours to schedule an appointment it delivers a user-friendly, secure, online experience. Geo-location mapping and extensive search functionality allows users to find the facility they need from their desktop, tablet or mobile device.

website: our website is a tool to provide up-to-date information about the fertility risks associated with cancer treatment and fertility preservation options that patients can use in the face of these risks. It is designed to assist patients in understanding this side effect of cancer treatment. The website also serves as a portal to patient resources such as financial assistance programs.

advocacy: because the chief barrier to fertility preservation is the high cost of services and the widespread lack of insurance coverage, we advocate for improved insurance coverage. This program focuses on informing patients and providers about where fertility preservation coverage exists and where it is pending for consideration in state legislature. We have developed a variety of tools: fact sheets, sample support letters, financial models to help individual advocates reach out to policy makers about this need for coverage.
