New partnership will allow those enrolled in flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA) access to at-home fertility treatment and tests
DALLAS, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Approximately 9% of men and 11% of women in the United States have experienced fertility challenges that can be emotionally, physically, and financially draining. Meanwhile, the cost of fertility testing and treatments can be cost prohibitive for many individuals, especially if these products and services aren't covered under their health insurance. Now, a new partnership between Health-E Commerce and Proov, the creator of a suite of at-home fertility-related hormone tests, has the potential to ease the financial strain of fertility and pregnancy planning by making at-home fertility testing and treatment plans easily accessible to consumers who are enrolled in a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA).
As a result of this new partnership, FSA and HSA users will have access to Proov's Path to Pregnancy Gold program when shopping at FSA Store and HSA Store. The Path to Pregnancy Gold program is a three step process that aids in providing accessible treatment for women who are on the path to pregnancy. The program includes at-home fertility testing, guidance from reproductive endocrinologists, and prescription fertility treatment, like hormone medication, if deemed clinically necessary.
"The decision to start a family is exciting and full of emotions. Worrying about finances shouldn't be a factor," said Susan Elliott-Bocassi, senior vice president of operations, Health-E Commerce. "FSAs and HSAs give individuals the flexibility to use their tax-free healthcare funds to pay for eligible pregnancy and fertility products, services, and treatments alleviating that financial stress. We're excited to partner with Proov to make information, resources, and supportive products available to anyone who wants to achieve a healthy pregnancy."
Proov offers clinically validated fertility tests for women and men, along with personal support and resources to help patients understand their unique fertility and pregnancy journey.
"I started Proov out of necessity, so I know firsthand how painful infertility can be, which is why all of our tests and products have been scientifically validated to ensure they are accurate, easy to use, and affordable," said Amy Beckley, Ph.D., CEO and founder of Proov. "We are honored to have helped thousands of women and men achieve healthy pregnancy, and we are excited to reach even more future parents through our partnership with Health-E Commerce."
