    1. Does this center accept insurance coverage? If not, could you please provide me with a list of fertility centers that accept insurance?

      • Hi Clarita

        if you have a look at their website which is listed in this profile, you can see that they do accept most insurance providers. There’s also the possibility to get financial assistance to eligible people who have struggles paying their treatments.

        Hope this answers your question,

        Best regards
