Case-by-case resolution that supports IVF patient satisfaction
Even the most skilled reproductive endocrinologists have encountered situations where patients are unhappy with their experience. Responding to these incidents in the right way is the key to ensuring that the patient needs are met, and that dissatisfaction doesn’t turn into a costly legal claim. REI Protect can help prevent an IVF patient lawsuit by guiding you through each of these situations as soon as they arise, with IVF patient satisfaction as the number one priority.
Simply contact us at any time to explain the situation you are facing, and we will deliver proven approaches designed to diffuse the situation before it becomes a crisis. Communication is key, and giving the patient the resolution they need is the number one priority. With our unique consultative approach, the vast majority of potential legal claims we have helped to address have been resolved in-office, rather than in court.
A comprehensive approach to preventing an IVF patient lawsuit
Of course, the best way to ensure patient satisfaction with every encounter is to maintain a practice that operates with a risk-management mindset and quality at the heart of everything you do.
The first step to reducing your risk of litigation is to ensure that you have effective REI policies and procedures in place to protect your practice. REI Protect can provide an underwriting assessment of your current risk management strategy, covering many aspects of your operations to reduce your risk of an IVF patient lawsuit.

In addition to assessing your practice’s risks, we extend our evaluation to cover any ancillary businesses associated with your practice, addressing IVF lab risks as well as your policies and procedures for shipping and storage of cryopreserved reproductive material.
