[quote=Anonymous]We are in the midst of this and after some consideration, went with Shared Risk.  The "hidden cost" we have so far encountered has been the medication, which was $4,000 out of pocket for the prescriptions prior to egg retrieval.  The medication for now ramping up for implantation is around $300.

I truly did not expect the the medication costs to be $4,000 for one cycle.  In fairness to them, they did note that the prescriptions would be subject to what our insurance would cover, but there was no mention that the out-of-pocket cost would be so high, and of course, given that our insurance has covered absolutely nothing so far in the process, I felt that they could have been more upfront about that information.  I'm not sure if that would have changed our decision on what to do, but it certainly wasn't fun to find out 48 hours prior to being required to order the prescriptions.

We have felt that the doctors we have dealt with have all been professional and knowledgeable, but the SGF support staff has been fairly poor - not following up on things they said they would, giving us incorrect information that was later corrected, sending messages to complete hyperlinked documents with dead links, etc.

We have only gone through one cycle, so I can't yet speak to our ultimate views on SGF.
