    Hey Ladies,

    Just thought I would post in here about the Extended Medicare Safety Net... after much research I came across the following Medicare webpage which actually lists the EMSN maximum pay outs for each IVF and OB Item Number. It is very useful if you are able to obtain item numbers from your clinic for your particular cycle to work out exactly what your out of pocket expenses are going to be. These figures (EMSN) will become relevant once you have reached the Medicare Safety Net out of pocket expenses for the year which is $1157.50:

    Hope this info is able to help!


    Mods, apologies if I am unable to post the above web link.... please let me know and I will remove if not allowed. If this is the case then I am happy to PM the link to anyone who would like it .
