The partnership aims to empower clinics and their patients with financing education, offering a seamless, integrated solution to increase access to fertility treatment
PatientFi, a leader in fertility financing, today formally announced a strategic partnership with patient engagement platform EngagedMD, in a significant move to enable clinics to proactively educate their patients on options for funding their fertility care. At a time when fertility treatments are in high demand, the partnership stands to address critical financial barriers to fertility treatment by bolstering clinic and patient education early in the treatment process, vastly improving access to care. The collaboration streamlines the decision-making process for patients, making it easier for them to confidently and quickly move forward with their treatment and in turn improve the likelihood of successful outcomes.
The PatientFi and EngagedMD partnership provides video modules within the EngagedMD platform giving patients detailed information on financing options. This allows them to easily initiate an application with instant approvals up to $50,000—helping eliminate financial barriers that often lead to delays in care. The collaboration increases transparency with financing accessibility, empowering patients to make informed decisions about their treatment plans and progress in their fertility journey.
“At PatientFi, we are committed to making fertility care more accessible, and this partnership marks a crucial step in educating patients about their financing options,” said Todd Watts, Co-Founder and CEO of PatientFi. “With fertility treatment costs now averaging $12,000 to $15,000 per cycle, PatientFi serves as a catalyst to remove financial barriers for both clinics and their patients.”
Additionally, the partnership provides clinics with a streamlined approach to financing discussions, reducing administrative burdens, while enhancing patient satisfaction and outcomes. By integrating financing education early in the treatment process, clinics can significantly increase their patient conversion, helping more individuals access quality fertility care. Offered at no cost to clinics, the module seamlessly integrates with existing EngagedMD tools, providing a comprehensive and patient-centered experience that addresses high treatment costs.
As reliance on fertility care increases, education on financing opportunities will continue to be a growing priority for clinics and their patients. In a recent PatientFi survey of 1,000 women ages 25-45 considering fertility care, 91% said that cost was a top factor when deciding to move forward with treatment, with 53% saying it would be the number one reason. Additionally, 88% of respondents in the same group indicated they would be interested in utilizing financing to pay for fertility care, underscoring the demand for financing education and access.
“At EngagedMD, we’re committed to reducing the friction that often comes with fertility care, both for clinics and their patients. Our partnership with PatientFi allows us to go one step further by not only streamlining patient education but also offering comprehensive guidance on financing options. Together, we’re making fertility care more accessible and less stressful, empowering patients to move forward with confidence and clinics to focus on delivering the best possible care,” said Jeff Issner, Co-Founder and CEO of EngagedMD.
Together, PatientFi and EngagedMD support fertility clinics nationwide by providing their patients with the resources needed to confidently navigate their fertility journey. To learn more about the PatientFi and EngagedMD partnership visit: https://resources.engagedmd.com/patientfi
