Do you want to have a baby, but it isn’t happening?

What is an Infertility Consultation Visit and what to expect.

Greene County Family Planning is able to assist both women and men who desire help with infertility issues. Greene County Family Planning provides Level I services only and refers for Level II and Level III. If you are having difficulty getting pregnant please give us a call to set up an infertility interview appointment.

As always we follow the January 2001 Program Guidelines for Project Grants for Family Planning Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Public Health and Science, Office of Population Affairs, Office of Family Planning which are as follows:

“Grantees must make basic infertility services available to women and men desiring such services.

Infertility services are categorized as follows: Level I: includes initial infertility interview, education, physical examination, counseling, and appropriate referral. Level II: includes such testing as semen analysis, assessment of ovulatory function and postcoital testingLevel III: more sophisticated and complex than Level I and Level II services.  

Grantees must provide Level I infertility services as a minimum.  Level II infertility services may be offered in projects with clinicians who have special training in infertility.  Level III services are considered to be beyond the scope of Title X program.”
