A PKD-Free Workplace
PKD-Free Babies Grants for Employees
Up to $3,000 for PGT-M
Up to $9,000 for combined PGT-M and IVF
You may be surprised to learn this, but approximately 1% of your fellow employees have polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and carry the multi-generational burden in their family.
They likely have no idea it can be eliminated from their family line.
With modern reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and pre-implantation genetic testing of monogenic disorders (PGT-M), families can ensure only PKD-free embryos are implanted, permanently removing the disease from all future generations.
The same method has been used to eradicate other diseases. Educating and providing resources for PKD-impacted
employees will help put an end to PKD.
By eliminating PKD, the wait for all others in need of a kidney will be reduced by years, saving tens of billions in dialysis and transplant costs.
The PKD-Free Babies Grant ranges from $3,000 - $9,000 on a case-by-case basis to cover uninsured costs of PGT-M and, for qualified patients, costs associated with IVF that are not covered by insurance.
Approved applicants will receive the following*:
Funds are paid directly to providers
Approved applicants will also be entitled to 10% discounts from Partner Genetic Laboratories and/or 20% discount from Partner Fertility Clinics if they choose to work with those facilities.
*Patients may incur upfront costs.
