ACFS Stimulus Plan

Since its inception in 1982, one of the underlying philosophies at Arizona Center for Fertility Studies has been to provide outstanding service, a commitment to excellence and fair pricing. Your pricing is based on what we feel is a “fair and honest” value for our services. We do not look at what other programs are charging and try to “beat their prices”. Although, many times our pricing is lower than other clinics, it is because we are acutely aware of the possible emotional and psychological factors that can result from difficulty in having a baby. Financial worries can only add to these already existing stresses. Although a baby is “worth any price”, it is important that you have the resources to continue to try until you are successful, hopefully, concentrating a little less on the financial aspect of treatment and more focused “on being successful”. If stress does play a role in treatment success, then this can be one place that ACFS can help. Our economy, now and in the future, has everyone looking at when, where and how best to spend their money. Although, in most cases, difficulty with having a baby is a medical problem, many insurance companies offer little to no reimbursement. This is clearly by a conscious choice on their part and leaves the patient having to pay for much needed services. Again, we can help. A medical clinic is still a business and like any other business has itʼs expenses and obligations. However, for anyone who knows us and has been a patient, money has always been a distant second to what is “really” important.
