Dear Patients,
We have good news! Today, we announce the merger of Northwest Center for Reproductive Sciences with Seattle Reproductive Medicine. We are especially pleased because both SRM and NCRS have well- deserved reputations for offering the best of patient care and success . By combining our practices, we will be able to provide our patients with more choices for clinic location, physicians and financing options. Both SRM and NCRS physicians view this merger as an opportunity to build an even stronger practice through a collaboration that will produce even better outcomes and more convenient service.
The merger with SRM will bring immediate benefit to our patients. To name a few:
- The Attain™ IVF Refund Program offered by IntegraMed is a proven program that provides financing from one to multiple IVF treatment cycles for a single discounted, fixed fee.
- The Seattle Reproductive Medicine Donor Egg Program has long been recognized as a leader in donor recruitment having over 100 screened egg donors. Thus, our patients will have access to a wide selection of qualified donors at lower cost and more convenience.
- Through partnering with SRM, NCRS patients will have access to year-round IVF services to better accommodate needs and schedules.
- All of our patients will now have access to most services without having to commute across the lake.
How does this impact you immediately?
It shouldn’t. The most important aspect of healthcare, your relationship with your physician, won’t change now or in the future as a result of this merger. Neither SRM physicians nor NCRS physicians would have made this decision if there was a risk of negatively impacting the care we provide our patients. Our intent and hope is that, through our combined services, we can provide you with even better and more personal care.
We appreciate the trust you have in us so we want you to hear the news first from us. Over the next few months, as our financial and clinical operations are combined, we’ll keep you informed on how it may impact you. We’re excited for the future and know this will benefit all our patients.
Sincerely,
