questions?
-
is mate covered by insurance?
currently mate is a cash pay clinic, but we are working to explore insurance options. we are significantly more affordable than legacy clinics but we believe infertility is a medical diagnosis that should be covered. unfortunately, many insurance providers don’t agree with us. some offer little to no coverage. others only cover diagnostic testing. some insurance providers may completely cover medication or one full round of ivf. in short, there’s no easy answer. we’ve found that many people with terrific insurance end up getting very little covered regardless.
-
how much does mate really cost?
every person’s fertility journey is different, but our philosophy is the same: to always be transparent and fair with our prices. no matter how many rounds of treatment or hurdles along the way, we’ll be clear with you, no matter what. typically our prices are 30% lower than any other clinic because we put patients first.

how long until i get pregnant?
an average fresh ivf cycle takes about 6-8 weeks from consultation to transfer. The few weeks before your ivf cycle begins will be used for testing. if you’re using a gestational carrier or surrogate, this time may increase. an average fresh cycle timeline (not including pre-testing) looks something like this:
day 1: ultrasound and bloodwork (ovarian stimulation)
day 2: (ovarian stimulation)
day 3: (ovarian stimulation)
day 4: ultrasound and bloodwork (ovarian stimulation)
day 5: (ovarian stimulation)
day 6: ultrasound and bloodwork (ovarian stimulation)
day 7: (ovarian stimulation)
day 8: ultrasound and bloodwork (ovarian stimulation)
day 9: (ovarian stimulation)
day 10: ultrasound and bloodwork (ovarian stimulation)
day 11: trigger shot
day 12:
day 13: fertilization & egg retrieval
day 14: embryos culture in the lab for 5-6 days
day 15: embryos culture in the lab for 5-6 days
day 16: embryos culture in the lab for 5-6 days
day 17: embryos culture in the lab for 5-6 days
day 18: transfer or pgt on frozen embryo
day 19-33: two week wait
day 33: pregnancy test
if you’re doing a frozen transfer, which we will recommend in most cases, the time between your egg retrieval and embryo transfer can be a few weeks, months, or even years. regardless, it’s better to give your body some time to rest after your retrieval before getting ready for an embryo.

which fertility treatment is right for me?
determining the right treatment for you can seem daunting. we get it. that’s why we create a personalized plan after your assessment, testing and consultation. it wouldn’t be right for us to recommend a treatment before we have all the proper information. you can also take our basic online quiz for free to get an insight into what path might be right for you. (emphasis on the might, this quiz is not a clinical diagnosing tool)
-
does mate accept hsa or fsa?
of course! many health care plans provided through the workplace have a health savings account (hsa) or flexible spending account (fsa) attached to them. these accounts allow you to contribute money from your paycheck into accounts that can be used for medical costs not covered by insurance. if you don’t have one or don’t know how to set up an hsa follow these steps below to get started.
- research hsa providers online. use hsa comparison websites, like hsa search, to help narrow your search.
- check with your health insurance company to see if they partner with hsa financial institutions.
- ask your bank if they offer an hsa option that meets your needs.
