The classic infertility evaluation is a costly experience for many couples. In the new era of managed care, it may be possible to perform a targeted evaluation that, while significantly lowering the total cost, will not impair our ability to correctly diagnose the cause of a couple's infertility. When combined with algorithms for streamlined treatment, it may be possible to significantly reduce the cost for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility.
