Description

“They expect us to be perfect.”

That’s how Dr. Jamie Grifo, Chief Executive Physician of the Inception/Prelude Network, describes the expectations placed on reproductive endocrinologists from patients, payors, and policymakers alike.

And while perfection may be impossible, preparation and partnership aren’t.

He discusses:

– Why NYU Langone has three in-house genetic counselors in their REI department

– How they counseled over 700 new patients last year

– What led to 300 PGT-M cycles out of 5,500 retrievals

– The challenges of sharing counselors across a growing network

– Regulatory complexities from state and federal oversight

– Why some REIs may be missing key opportunities to help patients with mosaic embryos
