Cost Effective Benefits Of New “First Step” Infertility Treatment Continue
Conceivex’s Conception Kit At-Home System Is FDA Cleared
Alternative
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Conceivex–Despite the recent findings that enrollment in the Affordable Care Act’s
(ACA) insurance exchanges has fallen, Conceivex said today that couples
across the country continue to be able to take advantage of a new,
insurance-covered “first step” therapy to overcome infertility.
The
Conception Kit® at-home system is an FDA cleared, drug- and
hormone-free treatment for infertility, which couples use at home, and
is available for a $30-$75 co-pay (under many insurance plans) with a
prescription at more than 65,000 pharmacies in the U.S., including
Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and Rite Aid. About 60 percent of insured
individuals in the U.S. already have reimbursable access through their
pharma benefits manager, including Express Scripts, CVS/Caremark, and
others.
The FDA required clinical trials on placement of the Conception Kit’s
Conception Cap (a cervical cap used for insemination at home) and
instructions by patients. During the trials, 24 percent of the patients
got pregnant during the first 30 days.
By comparison, many historic infertility treatment options can prove
costly. For example, a single cycle of in-vitro fertilization (IVF)
costs $12,500 on average, according to the American Society for
Reproductive Medicine, and is not always covered by insurance. And while
advancements have been made in IVF treatment, patients who elect this
route to address infertility still face risks, including multiple births
as well as premature births that can land newborns in the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and thereby drive up overall healthcare
costs.
The
Conception Kit provides three months of supplies (including 24
ovulation predictors, three pregnancy tests, along with the Conception
Cap, and a number of additional proprietary aides) – that, in many
cases, would cost more over-the-counter than the total amount of the
co-pay – for couples to use in the privacy of their home.
“The Conception Kit represents a new ‘first step’ for couples ahead of
IVF and intrauterine insemination (IUI) that can be used at home,” Michael
La Vean, President and Founder of Conceivex, maker of the Conception
Kit, said. “With more than 20 million women affected by infertility
today, and a sizeable population of men facing their own fertility
issues, the ACA has given these couples a heretofore unavailable
opportunity to start their family inexpensively, more quickly, and
privately.”
Conceivex, Inc., manufactures and distributes the Conception Kit®
at-home system, a safe, effective, FDA cleared, and reasonably priced
healthcare product that helps couples overcome infertility in the
privacy of their own home. The Conception Kit , which is covered by many
insurance plans (including Express Scripts and CVS/Caremark), and is
obtainable with a prescription at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Rite Aid,
and 65,000 pharmacies nationwide. Find out more at www.conceptionkit.com,
