Insurance and coverage
Maryland law

What insurers pay this clinic
These are rates insurers have agreed to pay the clinic. They are not your cost and are not part of the prices above.
- CignaIVF case rate: $4,842Sum of rates for IVF services: $1,589 – $7,983
A negotiated rate is what the insurer has agreed to pay the clinic for a billed service, not the patient's cost; the patient's share depends on the plan's IVF benefit, deductible and coinsurance. A clinic in the insurer's network file with no IVF billing codes suggests the plan likely excludes IVF.
