Getting Started

Just as there are many factors that can cause infertility, there also are many factors that can affect your chances for successful infertility treatment including age, your personal diagnosis, duration of infertility, and the number of previous unsuccessful treatment attempts. In addition, chances for your success will be influenced greatly by the specialists involved with your care.

The RMA medical team has been handpicked from among the finest reproductive experts in the country. Working together and drawing from their collective clinical experience, this team of physicians, embryologists, nurses and other healthcare professionals will develop an optimal treatment plan specifically for you. Your doctor will continuously monitor where you are in your personal treatment plan and where you may be going, ensuring the overall direction of our care. Whether you are already diagnosed or just beginning to explore treatment, you can be confident with a patient-centered, comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment.

At RMA, the couple is also an important part of the treatment equation and we rely on you to provide us with complete and accurate information about your history with infertility and to communicate with us openly while you are in our care. That is why we strongly encourage both partners to attend the initial consultation.

Your Initial Consultation

Lasting nearly two hours, this meeting provides the direction for your future care at RMA. You will begin by meeting with your physician who will review your medical history, discuss your options and he/she may even perform an ultrasound and or physical exam. Next, you will be introduced to your primary nurse who will help coordinate the testing and will review your treatment plan recommendations. Finally, your financial coordinator will review your insurance benefits and financial options, and also provide you with information about the cost of treatment.

To make this visit as effective and successful as possible, we ask that you submit the following materials two weeks prior to your first visit:

• Completed Demographic Form
• Copy of Your Insurance Card and Drivers License
