Aetna insurance requires patients seeking infertility care to pre-register with the Aetna Infertility Line at 1-800-575-5999. Aetna personnel will advise the patient whether or not registration or authorization codes are necessary based on the patient’s individual plan requirements.
Patients are asked to document the details provided to them during this call (Date, Time, Aetna representative name, and any additional specifics) and relay this information to Advanced Fertility Care at the time of their initial visit.
Failure to pre-enroll with Aetna may result in a denial of coverage from Aetna. If Aetna were to deny coverage the patient would be responsible for payment in full at the time of visit.

We will verify benefits, as well, with your insurance company but it is important that you become acquainted with your coverage and any procedures that are required (such as referrals and prior authorizations). After you have spoken with your insurance company and/or your HR department, please feel free to call the business office if you have additional questions.
If you are in need of patient financing, we have several companies on our website that can assist with this process.
If you find that you must cancel your appointment based on your lack of coverage please call the office to cancel the appointment. Failure to cancel your appointment without a 24 hour notice will result in a missed appointment fee.
We have found that being well informed about your insurance coverage will empower you as you proceed through your treatment. We appreciate you as patients and we are here to help in any way we can.
Please also be advised that Arizona Reproductive Laboratory is NOT contracted with any of the insurance plans. All services performed by this lab will be self pay at time of service.
