Care must be provided at Duke Fertility.  Employees and their covered spouse/partner are eligible after two years of continuous service.

The medications must be prescribed by Duke Fertility physicians.

Note: The patient should use the Express Scripts prescription card at a participating pharmacy to purchase infertility drugs.
