IntegraMed America, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMD), the nation’s leading provider of specialty healthcare services in emerging, technology-focused niches, today announced that Dallas IVF has begun offering IntegraMed’s Attain™ IVF Program, a course-of-treatment financing program that improves patient success rates with in vitro fertilization (IVF) fertility treatments.
The Attain IVF Program, pioneered by IntegraMed on a nationwide basis, offers an attractive alternative to better manage the financial commitment associated with undergoing a series of IVF treatments. For a discounted, fixed up-front cost, the Attain IVF Program provides patients with a series of IVF treatments, and refunds of up to 100% of their fees should their treatments not result in having a baby. The Attain IVF Multi-Cycle Program also offers a discounted, fixed up-front cost for fewer treatments. For most IVF patients these programs present an opportunity to significantly increase their chances of success by allowing them to stay in treatment longer.

Dallas IVF, located in Frisco, Texas, is the medical practice of Brian D. Barnett, MD and Lowell T. Ku, MD. Dallas IVF offers couples individualized infertility treatment plans in a caring environment. Their new facility includes a state-of-the-art assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratory.
