If you have read the following terms and are eligible for this payment plan: congratulations! It’s time to move forward and plan for your future family. Your next step is pretty simple as you can leave all the hard work in our hands.
Make an appointment with a pregnancy specialist, such as LUMIROUS, where we can take over and make any necessary arrangements that is tailored to suit you and your family. After a consultation to identify the target issues and an assessment of both parents, we can progress with the IVF or IUI treatment.
Once the treatment is confirmed, you can send your documents over to EPF for withdrawal. The full amount will be transferred to your bank account, which you can make the payment with to your preferred fertility clinic for an IUI, IVF or ICSI treatment.
We at LUMIROUS believe in every couple’s right to have a baby, which is why we are striving for fertility resources to be available for everyone. To know more about pregnancy and fertility treatments, please visit our website!
