Fertility Preservation Services - Staff Training

  

If you are receiving this email, your clinic participates in RTL's Fertility Preservation Network, and provides specimen freezing services to men and/or women diagnosed with cancer.  The specimens are transferred to ReproTech for long-term storage.

 

Is your staff aware of the services your clinic offers?  Please be sure that all staff are aware of the Fertility Preservation services offered, and are able to advise inquiring patients of your procedures, including long term storage information.  ReproTech's long term storage fees may be found at www.cryostoragefees.com.  If you would like to receive our brochure that includes RTL storage fees, please

contact Joy.

 

This has come to our attention due to recent calls to our offices from cancer patients claiming to have been denied sperm banking services by some of our FPN members.  Please consider the importance of training or re-training staff who answer your clinic phones.  Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Completion of Advanced Directives on
ReproTech Cryostorage Agreements

 

Please advise your patients that it is in their best interest to complete the Advanced Directives sections on the RTL Cryostorage Agreements.  If a patient is not married, he/she should complete this section, as marital status may change.  Selecting an Advanced Directive option could help avoid legal disputes over specimens upon the death of a patient.

 

RTL staff is discussing revisions to the Advanced Directives sections to provide patients with clarification.

 

Thank you for your cooperation.
