The Infertility Marketplace

What to Ask a Healthcare Provider

By the Federal Trade Commission

Pages:  1  2  3  

Talking with a provider's patients can help confirm your impressions of an infertility program, particularly the way in which patients are treated. You frequently can get an idea of a program's strengths and weaknesses from those who have participated in it.

Where to Go for More Information
For help in researching or checking possible complaints about particular infertility programs, you may want to contact the state medical board or county medical society. For more information about infertility, write: American Fertility Society, 2140 Eleventh Avenue South, Suite 200, Birmingham, AL 35205. An infertility support group such as RESOLVE – with national headquarters in Arlington, Massachusetts and numerous local chapters – may be of immediate help to you.

If you have further questions or want to discuss possible problems about this issue, write: Correspondence Branch, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, DC 20580. Although the FTC does not usually intervene in individual cases, the information you provide may indicate a pattern of possible law violations requiring action by the Commission.

For a list of all the FTC's consumer publications, contact: Public Reference, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, DC 20580; (202) 326-2222. Ask for a free copy of Best Sellers.
