ProblemFertility clinics still lose starts to prior auth delays, wrong specialty-pharmacy routing, refill gaps, and late financial clearance. Reddit patients describe cycles held until approvals arrive, while CDC counted 435,426 U.S. ART cycles in 2022 across 457 clinics.
SolutionStimShield IVF sits after the treatment decision and before meds begin. It pulls payer status, pharmacy milestones, med-delivery dates, refill risk, and signed financial checkpoints into one daily board with owners, deadlines, and a clean start/no-start call.
Market opportunityIVF volume keeps rising, coverage is getting more complex, and one delayed start can jeopardize a cycle worth roughly $25,000 plus $12,000-$15,000 in meds. A clinic can justify $1.5k-$3k MRR to prevent even a small number of failed starts each month.
