AART offers satellite services for active patients receiving fertility treatments at another center. To access satellite services, you must have been seen by a physician at AART in the last 12 months. If you have not yet seen an AART physician, you will require a referral. AART’s fees for satellite services do not include post-transfer care.

AART may, at its discretion, decline to provide satellite services if:

• AART has no knowledge of the clinic providing care.

• AART has knowledge of the clinic providing care and has evidence-based concerns of a clinical or ethical nature.

• AART is being asked to prescribe drugs that are not compatible with safe practice.

• AART has not seen the patient in the last 12 months and the patient has not booked an appointment to be seen before drugs are prescribed.

• AART is aware that the patient has not had the appropriate medical, legal, ethical, and psychological counseling and assessments.

• The patient is not aware of the risks, implications, and possible complications associated with treatment.

• The patient is seeking treatment for sex selection. The Assisted Human Reproduction Act states that “No person shall knowingly for the purpose of creating a human being, perform any procedure or provide, prescribe or administer anything that would ensure or increase the probability that an embryo will be of a particular sex, or that would identify the sex of an in vitro embryo, except to prevent, diagnose or treat a sex-linked disorder or disease”.

• Any other concerns that arise before or during the treatment.
