New York State Department of Health Infertility Demonstration Program
The New York State Department of Health created a mandate in 2003 to provide financial subsidy grants so that more infertility patients could access the infertility and IVF treatments they need. Although there are certain clinical determinants, excluded services and coverage limitations to the grant program, the NY State IVF Grant Program has helped many patients achieve their dream of parenthood.
Insured patients who meet eligibility criteria, and whose insurance does not cover IVF can apply for the New York State Department of Health Infertility Demonstration Program.
In order to qualify for the New York State grant, patients must meet criteria as determined by the New York State Department of Health. This assessment is made through a new patient evaluation consultation and a clinical screening process conducted by your RMA of New York – Long Island doctor. Patients must provide proof of:
- Age
- New York state residency
- Private health insurance as primary insurance (not Medicare)
- Combined gross household income (determined by most recent tax returns) of under $195k annually. Qualified patients will pay a cost share amount. Out-of-pocket expenses are determined by NY State guidelines and are based on total household income level, ranging from 2.5% to 97.5% of the total costs.
- Additional clinical information and documentation as requested on the program application.*
To determine if you are eligible for the NY State IVF Grant Program, please complete and submit the online application.

Made possible by an endowment from generous benefactors, the Jade Foundation IVF Grant is offered exclusively at RMA of New York – Long Island and provides financial assistance to couples whose insurance does not cover IVF treatments. Qualified patients will pay a cost share amount, or out-of-pocket expense, based on total household income level. Funding through this grant program is allocated for basic services related to an IVF cycle, and excludes other types of treatments such as egg donation cycles, surrogacy cycles, elective egg freezing cycles, as well as genetic testing services, such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis or screening (PGT-A /PGT-M).
Applicants must be Long Island, Queens, or Brooklyn residents less than 38 years of age, have documented infertility, and meet clinical and financial criteria. Additionally, applicants must have commercial medical insurance coverage which either does not cover their IVF treatments or for which they have exhausted their IVF benefits. Priority is given to first time parents and to those who have served or are currently serving in the U.S. military.

An IVF package is created for each patient based on their personal family-building goals and the protocol they have agreed upon under the guidance of one of our physicians. Each package, therefore, is individualized.
At RMA of New York – Long Island, IVF packages are typically batched into two categories: ‘Fresh Cycle’ and ‘Freeze All Cycle’. In a ‘Fresh Cycle’ patients undergo IVF with the intention of transferring fresh embryos that have not been frozen. This type of package includes monitoring (office visits, ultrasounds, and blood work), egg retrieval, conventional fertilization, and embryo transfer. ‘Freeze All Cycle’ patients undergo an egg retrieval and freeze their eggs or embryos, with the intention of transferring them later. This package includes monitoring (office visits, ultrasounds and bloodwork), egg retrieval, ICSI, cryopreservation, and embryo transfer at a later time.
IVF packages at RMA of New York – Long Island do NOT include medications, anesthesia, or PGT, preimplantation genetic testing, of embryos. Cryopreservation, or freezing, of specimens, is included in a ‘Freeze All Cycle’ but not in a ‘Fresh Cycle’.
A ‘Freeze All Cycle’ excludes the transfer. But there is a combined package of the ‘Freeze All Cycle’ plus a transfer that provides some cost savings. There is no timeframe as to when the transfer must occur.
