Occasionally, patients who are receiving treatment at another fertility center request to have their monitoring services performed at RMA Lehigh Valley. This may be due to patient work location, vacation destinations, patient/treatment office proximity, or many other situations.

We are able to assist individuals who require outside monitoring services in the Lehigh Valley. Due to the needs of the RMA Lehigh Valley patients, outside monitoring services are available only for treatment cycle ultrasounds, early pregnancy ultrasounds, and typical hormonal blood work.

Outside monitoring patients are responsible to contact their insurance company to determine if RMA Lehigh Valley participates with their insurance. Our finance department will not be able to assist you with this information. If RMA Lehigh Valley does not participate with your specific insurance, you will be responsible to pay in full for all services, when they are performed.
