The Typical Situation for Reimbursements

According to a Creighton Model Fertility Care Practitioner, most reimbursements for NFP occur in the following type of situation:

1. Your Fertility Care Practitioner (FCP) is working in a clinic or hospital setting (such as this)
2. Your physician (likely an NFP-trained doctor) diagnoses you with a condition requiring regular charting and consultation, such as PCOS, repetitive miscarriage, vaginal discharge, PMS, infertility, etc.
3. Your physician prescribes NFP for you using one of the diagnostic/billing codes, along with a diagnosis code for the condition being treated.

Sound good? But we think coverage should extend further (see next post) . . .
