Documentation of prior responses to gonadotropin stimulation should be used to individualize initial dosing in subsequent cycles (policy text: initial dose in subsequent cycles is individualized based on prior response).

Check benefit plan descriptions for exclusions (plans may exclude infertility services for ovarian failure).
