Hey there! We’re so excited to have you on board for your fertility journey, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. If you’re visiting the Indiana Fertility Institute for the first time, here’s what you need to know.
Kicking Off Your Fertility Journey
Every journey to parenthood is unique, just like you! At Indiana Fertility Institute, we prioritize a personalized approach tailored to your specific needs. Our fertility experts take the time to understand your health history and family aspirations. Whether you’re ready to conceive now or want to preserve your fertility for later, we’ll create a plan that fits you.
Before Your Appointment
Once you book your appointment, keep an eye on your inbox. You’ll receive a link to register for our electronic medical records (EMR) system. It’s super important to complete this step by setting up a username and password and submitting your personal and medical information. This will help ensure a smooth visit. Don’t forget to fill out the forms in your welcome packet, especially the medical release form, as we’ll need to review any previous fertility tests or labwork you’ve had.
What to Bring
Make sure to arrive at least 15 minutes early for your appointment, whether you’re coming in person or logging on virtually. Here’s a quick checklist of what to bring:
- Your insurance card or details
- A valid ID, like a driver’s license
- Payment for your co-pay or self-payment
What to Expect
During your first visit, your provider will review your medical history, along with your partner’s if applicable. We’ll discuss your current situation and recommend any necessary diagnostic tests to understand why you might be facing challenges in conceiving. This is also your chance to ask any burning questions you have about your reproductive health and potential treatment options.
After Your First Visit
After your consultation, you’ll have a chance to chat with one of our financial counselors. They’ll help clarify costs, what your insurance covers, and payment options tailored to your situation.
Prelude Connect
Check out the Prelude Connect app! It’s a handy tool designed to support your personalized fertility plan. Available exclusively through the Prelude Network, this app offers resources to help manage your fertility journey effectively. You can learn more about it or ask any of our team members.
