Lola,

There are a lot of fertility experts that provide payment plans or financing packages.

THE SECRET:
You already know the secret because you used it here on EmpowHer. All you have to do is ASK.

STEP #1: Put together a list of fertility experts your friends have used/recommended and use Google to find their phone numbers.

THE NATIONAL INFERTILITY ASSOCIATION SAYS:
"Don't be afraid to ask the doctor's office if they offer any payment plans for your treatment. In some cases the office staff is so involved in the medical aspects of your treatment that they may not consider the financial aspect or that you may need assistance budgeting for your treatment expenses."

STEP #2: On Monday call your favorite Detroit area fertility doctors and ASK if they provide payment plans or financing packages.

STEP #3: Fear Not! Do not be afraid of the word "no". It's not a sign you are not worthy, it's a sign you are getting closer to finding the perfect doctor that's going to help you become the mommy you were meant to be.

You'll be surprised what you discover just by ASKING.

STEP #4 - EMPOWHER OTHER WOMEN:

TODD'S PERSONAL STORY:
Lola, I'm dealing with a heart condition right now. One of my doctors was charging me $400 per visit and I was paying out of pocket at the time. So when the doctor was in the room with me I asked him, if he'd consider reducing the cost since I was paying out of pocket. He look at me and simply replied, "of course". The cost of the visit was reduced $340 to $60, which I could afford. Also, I suspect the doctor enjoyed feeling like he was doing a good deed. In hindsight Lola, the hardest part was being afraid to ASK. Fear not!

If you have another question please ASK.

Wishing you fertility & EmpowHer-ment.
