BOSTON, Massachusetts — Boston IVF has launched new partnerships with Gaia and PatientFi to expand access to fertility treatment through innovative and flexible financing options.
The collaborations are designed to help more individuals and couples build families by reducing financial barriers to care. Gaia is the first provider of value-based family-building services, while PatientFi offers a patient-friendly financing platform with zero-interest plan options*, flexible terms of up to 84 months**, and coverage that spans the full fertility journey, including treatments, medications, labs, testing, and other out-of-pocket costs.
These partnerships build on Gaia and PatientFi’s existing relationships with IVI RMA North America, the parent company of Boston IVF and a leading provider of assisted reproductive technologies with more than 24 IVF laboratories across the U.S. and Canada. Expanding these programs across the Boston IVF network marks a significant move toward making fertility services more accessible throughout the Northeast.
“The expansion of the Gaia and PatientFi partnerships within our network represents an important step forward in our mission to advance equitable access to fertility care,” said Lynn Mason, CEO of IVI RMA North America. “By combining innovative financial solutions with the strength and scale of our network, we’re expanding access to care across North America—especially here in the Northeast and the Boston region. These partnerships transform how patients experience and manage the cost of reproductive care.”
Gaia’s model offers personalized financial plans tied to treatment milestones, helping reduce uncertainty about overall costs and outcomes. PatientFi provides a streamlined path to financing with a 30-second application, no hard credit checks, instant decisions, and approvals up to $50,000. Its Digital Wallet feature allows patients to use a single approval across their entire fertility journey, and higher approval and conversion rates help patients move forward without delays. Together, the options offer greater choice and flexibility for managing treatment expenses.
“At Boston IVF, our commitment has always been to deliver patient-focused care that supports every individual and couples throughout their fertility journey,” said Alan Penzias, MD, Regional Medical Director, Northeast, IVI RMA North America, and Reproductive Endocrinologist at Boston IVF. “The expansion of our partnerships with Gaia and PatientFi help our patients navigate the costs of care with greater clarity and flexibility. When patients can focus on their care rather than costs, we create space for hope, healing, and better outcomes.”
“Partnering with Boston IVF means we get to support one of the most trusted names in fertility care and, more importantly, the patients they serve,” said Vanessa Suker, Fertility Channel Director, PatientFi. “Our platform is designed to take some of the financial stress out of the journey so more hopeful parents can say ‘yes’ to treatment sooner. By helping increase approvals and smoothing the path from decision to treatment, we aim to make the experience easier for both patients and clinic teams. We’re truly excited to stand alongside Boston IVF as they continue helping families grow.”
“Every day, we meet patients who are hopeful, anxious, and often overwhelmed by the financial side of fertility care,” said Nader AlSalim, Founder & CEO of Gaia. “Boston IVF’s commitment to compassionate, patient-first medicine aligns perfectly with our belief that no one should face this journey alone. By making family building more protected at such a respected institution, we’re helping transform not just how patients pay for care, but how they experience it.”
