When visiting a fertility clinic, excitement can leave a patient with a blank mind and no questions to ask. Writing down the top 5 questions to ask fertility doctors is the best way to make sure every question is answered during the first visit in preparation of the conception journey about to begin.
What are the office hours? Office hours may not seem important to a fertility patient, but doctors tend to have varying hours and when taking a work schedule and life into consideration, this question can be important. If the doctors in a fertility clinic are not available when a patient is available, the patient may wish to choose another clinic.
What procedures will be used for fertility treatments? Doctors vary on fertility treatment procedures. Some opt to start fertility medications immediately, while others choose to start the process with blood tests. Patients need to know what procedures will be followed and a timeline for each procedure if conception does not occur.
How many treatments are typically required? Fertility treatment success depends on many factors, but most doctors will be able to give a vague guideline for the number of treatments given for each procedure. If switching up between procedures, patients may also wish to ask how long one treatment is followed before another that fertility treatment is left behind for another.
When will the treatment schedule begin? Fertility doctors may offer an open schedule with limitless patients or a limited schedule for a certain number of patients at any given time. If a patient is placed on a waiting list before treatments can begin, they may wish to seek out another fertility doctor.
How much do treatments cost and is insurance billing done in office? Patients with insurance coverage that allows fertility treatments may wish to learn more about insurance billing before treatment begins. If insurance is not being used for fertility treatment, patients will need the entire cost of treatment up-front to ensure savings is available to pay for treatment.
Bonus Question for Fertility Doctors
One of the most important questions to some patients involves the success rate of a given fertility clinic or group of doctors. Success rate is not always a deciding factor as success is based on patient condition, health and other external factors. High success rates could mean the fertility doctor is reporting only positive results or that the office uses blood testing to admit only certain patients into the practice.
