To help our patients afford the cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and infertility treatment, Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area (RSC) provides multiple options for fertility treatment financing, including options for self-pay financing. Our free insurance and financial counseling service helps patients make the best decisions possible on making the treatment they need affordable.
Fertility benefit administrators

Infertility health insurance resources
Insurance counseling for infertility patients
In an effort to provide the highest level of comprehensive care and service, our financial team is available to explain the costs of treatment and the extent of insurance coverage prior to a treatment cycle.
Understanding insurance benefits
We know that understanding insurance benefits or obtaining the necessary referrals or pre-authorizations to begin treatment can be very confusing. It is important to have a good handle on the pre-treatment processes that are required by your insurance plan.
RESOLVE Coverage at Work program
Coverage at Work helps patients gain new or expanded benefits to help cover treatment costs through benefits provided by an employer. Most employers aren’t aware of a gap in benefits they offer until it’s brought to their attention.
Coverage at Work offers a toolkit, advice on creating a plan and asking for coverage, and other resources to give to your employer. And you get access to individual coaching with the RESOLVE team for any questions along the way.
Fertility financing
Fertility treatment coverage through the Progyny network
RSC provides comprehensive services for Progyny network members. Unlike most infertility insurance coverage, Progyny does not focus on infertility treatment costs; it focuses on outcomes, which is the reason why RSC is a valued member of the Progyny network.
You can pursue the treatment that’s right for your specific situation as recommended by our specialists. Progyny coverage includes such treatments as egg freezing, IVF or even surrogacy cycles.
Ask your human resources department if your employer offers Progyny. You can also contact Progyny at info@progyny.com or 212-888-3124.

Grant programs for fertility treatments
The Tinina Q. Cade Foundation (Cade Foundation)
The Tinina Q. Cade Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote awareness of infertility and serve the needs of couples struggling with infertility by providing educational resources and financial assistance to help them grow their families. The foundation prides itself on three main goals:
- To serve the community by providing education on infertility and related issues, working alone as well as in partnership with other organizations.
- To provide financial assistance for families struggling with infertility who are either pursuing treatment or domestic adoption through grants.
- To raise funds that will be used to provide grants for families pursuing fertility treatment or domestic adoption.
Each year the foundation provides selected infertile families up to $10,000 to assist with the costs associated with infertility treatment or domestic adoption.
The Tinina Q. Cade Foundation’s Family Building Grant provides up to $10,000 per funded family to help with costs of domestic adoption and medical fertility treatment. The only restrictions for applying are:
- You must have a diagnosis of infertility from your doctor.
- You must be a legal permanent U.S. resident.
There are no age limitations or other restrictions currently. The grant is offered twice per year, and the number of applications funded as well as the amount of funding depends on the success of the Cade Foundation’s fundraising activities (i.e. the more they raise, the more they can give away).
Learn more and apply for the Family Building Grant.
RSC is pleased to sponsor the Corks with Cade fundraising event for the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation. Including our 2020 event, we’ve raised over $62,000 for the foundation.
