[quote=Anonymous]OP with a couple of follow-ups.  Thanks to PP for the helpful info, by the way.

1.  It sounds like the referral from Kaiser to SG comes from OB and not from general doctor.  Is that right?  Another thread mentioned that the referral has to come from the GP but that doesn't make a lot of sense.

2.  Does Kaiser federal have rules about how many embryos you can freeze and still get another cycle covered?  For instance, Aetna has a rule that once you have two frozen embryos, they won't cover another fresh cycle.  You have to use those embryos in an FET first.

My situation is that my current insurance is expiring this fall and I'm thinking of signing up for Kaiser federal only for the remainder of the year.  I might want to get two fresh cycles in during that time and with EPP protocol, the process can take a while for a full cycle.  I don't want to be stuck having to do an FET before I am able to do a second fresh cycle if there are two or more frozen embryos.  In my case this is unlikely, as they usually don't make it to blast, but it's good to plan for a possible better outcome anyway!

3.  From other threads, I've got the price of ICSI as $2000, biopsy (for PGS) at $1500, and PGS at $3000.  Is that current?  What about freezing and shipping?
