I haven't even had our phone consult yet, but DH and I are definitely doing the O.DWU there. How many of you have done this? I'm just wondering what to expect. I've looked it up and, while there is some info out there, I'm wondering more about how much info you actually get from the doc on this day. How long to you get to talk to him/her? We made our appointment with Dr. Sur.rey. I'm not sure how much they can tell you on the actual day or if they need to wait to put all the data together and then give you more info when all the tests are in. Also, maybe a stupid question, but we are oop for treatments, but have coverage for diagnosis. I'm just wondering how many of you are in this situation and without getting too personal, how much of the workup did insurance cover? I'm just trying to plan ahead a little so we can start stashing money again! I'd rather buy shoes. Or purses. Or sweaters. Or groceries, really!

    I had my ODWU in late August. My schedule did include a consult appt with our Dr. I can't remember if it was a 1/2 hour or so scheduled? We didn't really have many questions so ours was like 10 minutes. They really won't be able to answer protocol questions for you until they get your cd3 b/w. I am not really sure what the consult is for besides for you to meet the Dr, because there really isn't anything to go over until you get results from all your tests. You do a lot of b/w, a Doppler u/s, a hysteroscopy, and a lot of meetings and consents. We are oop, except for diagnostic testing. Ccrm doesn't bill insurance(they bill one insurance only but I can't even remember which one) so we paid upfront for everything we did and they give you cms forms to submit to your insurance. We paid around $2500 I think, but we have had a lot of testing elsewhere that we didn't need repeated at ccrm (such as a hsg, sperm chromatin testing, karyotyping, rpl panels). If you need all of that, I assume it would double the price or so. It's been 6 weeks or so and I haven't heard anything from my insurance so I am not sure if they are reimbursing or not. HTH, let me know of you have more questions.

    I think J&D covered all of it, but I just wanted to add that I am seeing Dr. Surrey out there and have been really happy with him so far. If you have any specific CCRM questions, feel free to PM me!
