The COVID-19 pandemic is a far-reaching and rapidly evolving public health crisis that is bringing unprecedented challenges to healthcare. At Progyny we are committed to the health and well-being of our members. We want to ensure you are safe and supported during this time. Please reach out to your dedicated Patient Care Advocate if you have any questions or need support.
Fertility Coverage is Essential Medicine
In mid-March 2020, in accordance with state stay-at-home orders and American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) guidance, most fertility clinics stopped new treatments save for oncofertility. On April 24th 2020, ASRM updated its guidance and confirmed what we all knew to be true; fertility treatments are essential medicine. Since then most clinics have fully opened, albeit with new safety protocols in place. Both providers and patients adapted quickly and professionally, and clinics have returned to their full range of services and treatments, now with added telehealth consultations.
How You Can Help
We hope with proper safety procedures and public health management that COVID-19 will be under control soon. In the meantime, remember to follow CDC guidelines to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. Measures include washing your hands often and for at least 20 seconds; cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and phones; covering coughs and sneezes; and avoiding close contact by staying at least 6 feet away from people and staying home where possible.
For the essential workers on the frontlines-we offer our deepest appreciation and thanks.
