Dedicated Financial Navigators for Every Patient
After your treatment plan is created, you’re connected with a Financial Navigator — your go-to contact for financial questions throughout the cycle. They will:
- Provide a customized Financial Agreement detailing the cost of your treatment, what’s included, and any exclusions
- Estimate your out-of-pocket responsibility based on verified insurance benefits
- Share this agreement through the Kindbody portal
- Follow up by phone or video to walk through it and answer any questions
This one-on-one support ensures that no patient is left trying to interpret financial documents alone.
Exploring Payment Options: PatientFi, Employer Benefits, and Sunfish
We understand that every patient’s financial situation is different. That’s why we offer a variety of flexible payment options to help make fertility care more accessible:
- PatientFi: A monthly payment option that allows patients to spread out the cost of treatment with no hidden fees. Your Navigator can help you apply and assess whether this is a good fit.
- Employer Benefits: If your employer offers fertility coverage through Kindbody, your Navigator will explain how to access and make the most of those benefits.
- Sunfish Bundles: For those looking for more cost predictability, Kindbody partners with Sunfish to offer all-in-one fertility bundles. These packages are designed to simplify budgeting by combining services and offering locked-in pricing. Your Navigator can walk you through available bundle options, what's included, and how they compare to other payment methods.
Continued Support After Your Cycle
Even after your treatment cycle is complete, support doesn’t end. Our billing team is available to assist with any outstanding questions or payments. You can:
- Send us a message through the Kindbody portal
- Or call 855-KNDBODY (option 4) to speak with a billing representative
Whether it’s help interpreting a bill or making a payment, our team is here to assist.
Supporting Your Fertility Journey with Clear, Consistent Financial Care
Understanding the financial side of fertility treatment can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At Kindbody, we’ve built a system that prioritizes transparency, support, and patient education at every step.
Whether you’re using insurance, employer-sponsored benefits, bundled packages through Sunfish, or financing options like PatientFi, we’re here to help you navigate the process with clarity and confidence.
If you're starting your journey with us, your Financial Navigator will be ready to support you from day one.

Infertility is a disease that affects one in six people, and for too many, the cost of treatment remains a barrier to care. We’re encouraged that the administration recognizes the critical role employers play in expanding access to this essential benefit.
Kindbody was founded on the belief that everyone deserves the chance to build the family of their dreams. We welcome any effort that reduces financial barriers to care, and we applaud employers who lead the way in offering fertility coverage. Today’s news is a positive first step in expanding access to IVF, but there is still much work to do. We will continue to work alongside patients, policymakers, and partners to ensure that fertility care is equitable, affordable and accessible for all.

Start with a family planning consultation to map the right route for your family and how to choose an ethical adoption professional/agency.
2) Build a budget and funding plan early. Typical costs vary widely: domestic and intercountry adoptions can run from $30,000–$100,000+, while foster-care adoption is often low to no-cost. Leverage the federal Adoption Tax Credit ($17,280 max per child for tax year 2025) and any employer-provided adoption assistance.
3) Prepare for your home study. Expect background checks, references, interviews, education, and a home safety review.
4) Understand your family leave options. Under FMLA, eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave for adoption/placement; some states also offer paid family leave. Check your employer policy for any paid benefits.
5) Care for yourselves, emotionally and practically. Adoption involves big emotions (excitement, uncertainty, and potentially grief). Normalize ongoing support for you and your child that aligns with advances in adoption medicine, attachment and bonding research, and adoption parenting recommendations.
6) Keep immaculate records. Save invoices, receipts, and mileage logs for taxes and any employer reimbursement; you can claim the credit excluding any employer benefits.
7) After placement: finalize and build your village. Complete post-placement visits, court finalization, and (for intercountry) any citizenship steps as advised by your attorney/agency. Keep engaging with adoption-competent providers and peer communities.

Male-factor infertility contributes to nearly 50% of fertility challenges, and the good news is: simple lifestyle changes can have a real impact.
Here are 10 evidence-backed ways to support sperm health and overall wellness:
1. Get Better Sleep
Aim for 7–8 quality hours each night. Poor sleep can disrupt testosterone levels and lower sperm production.
2. Keep a Healthy Weight
Excess body fat can throw off your hormones. A balanced diet and consistent movement can help support healthy testosterone levels.
3. Exercise, But Not Too Hard
Moderate exercise boosts sperm quality, but extreme endurance training or steroid use can lower it. Keep it consistent but not extreme.
4. Eat for Your Future
Fuel your body with antioxidants, omega-3s, zinc, and selenium—found in foods like leafy greens, berries, fish, and nuts. Limit processed foods, sugar, and trans fats.
5. Chill the Stress
Chronic stress can affect hormone balance and fertility. Try walking, mindfulness, breathing exercises, or whatever helps you recharge.
6. Cut Back on Booze & Tobacco
Excessive alcohol and tobacco use are linked to lower sperm count and motility. Cutting back supports better outcomes.
7. Keep It Cool
High heat can temporarily reduce sperm production. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and laptops directly on your lap.
8. Watch Chemicals
Everyday exposures—like BPA, phthalates, and pesticides—can harm sperm quality. Use glass or stainless steel and minimize contact with environmental toxins when possible.
9. Check Your Meds
Some medications, including testosterone therapy or certain antidepressants, can affect fertility. Talk to your doctor if you’re trying to conceive.
10. Get Checked
A semen analysis is a quick, easy way to assess sperm count, movement, and shape. Early testing gives you more time and more options.
