Dominion did all of this and the pregnancy monitoring too but that was back in 2010. Dr. Gordon took care of me.

This. SG would not submit insurance claims and billed me as outside patient. I did mo monitoring there for a cycle with CCRM, it was a nightmare to deal with insurance and SG billing system. CFA did my monitoring for two cycles with Breverman and submitted claims directly to my insurance , CFA is monitoring me now to for an out of town DE cycle.

I was actually able to do all my pregnancy monitoring with my OB. He normally doesn't see patients that early but I just brought in orders from the fertility clinic.

I used SIRM-NYC and they allowed me to do my monitoring at CFA. Although my insurance doesn't cover IVF, they covered all my local ultrasounds and blood draws.

First find out if your out-of-state clinic is ready to accept the local clinic. SIRM NJ specifically told me that I had to be there for monitoring (ultrasounds). I do only E2 blood work at local LabCorp. It sounded overwhelming that I had to drive 4 hours for a 1 minute ultrasound but it wasn't painful at all when I actually did that. In fact, I felt much more comfortable when they looked at it, especially after too many failures at local clinics. But yes, I don't have children I need to worry about.

Shady Grove will do it but they will make a big deal about calling you an Outside Patient and might be annoying about the billing.

We are doing a DE cycle with a clinic in NY. We did one two years ago with the same clinic and I took the train to NY for all my monitoring appointments. Now with a toddler (that cycle worked) it is much harder to take the train to NY over and over again. Is there a local clinic that will do out of town monitoring and scans? TIA
