Fertility Services | Kaiser Permanente

For services within Kaiser Permanente, you do not need a referral.

For services outside of Kaiser Permanente, prior authorization is required. If you have not already been seen within Kaiser Permanente for fertility care, contact your PCP or ob-gyn clinician to start this process. If you have already been seen for fertility care within Kaiser Permanente, reach out to the fertility team to assist you with next steps.

To make an appointment, call the ob-gyn line at 1-855-285-4246 or schedule online at kp.org.

We recommend having a pelvic exam and preconception counseling before your fertility services appointment. This should be done up to 12 months before your appointment.

At the initial appointment:

The fertility nurse will review pricing.
We will order lab or diagnostic testing if applicable.
We will schedule an appointment with a fertility clinician if applicable.

Cryopreservation is the process of freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos to subzero temperatures for later use.

This service is covered for preservation of material during covered treatment.

For cryopreservation benefit coverage for long-term storage view your benefit summary or call Membership Services at 1-800-813-2000 for more information.

Should your Kaiser Permanente coverage end, you will be responsible for any storage costs. Contact the storage facility to discuss your options.
