Fertility Specialists Network
Snapshot
Fertility-focused multi-clinic network (TX, LA, FL); Medallion prospect in active vendor evaluation; urgency driven by new physician joining ~May 11.
Profile
- Multi-clinic IVF/fertility network across three states: ivfmd (Texas, 4 locations planned), Audubon Fertility (Louisiana), and Florida clinics (Viera; Boca Raton + Fort Lauderdale under Boca entity).
- ~11–15 credentialable providers today (physicians + NPs/PAs across all clinics); target ~15 by end of 2026 per Gong call, 2026-04-20.
- Audubon Fertility (LA) has a complex entity structure — embryology is a separate entity; surgery center is clinic-owned.
- No dedicated credentialing staff; credentialing fell to RCM Supervisor (Lisa Fahey) and Regional Director (Shawn Holley, ivfmd TX) after prior RCM director departed. Both have biller/nursing backgrounds, not credentialing.
Commercial
- Prospect · Tier N/A · ARR $0 · vendor evaluation in progress; 3rd of 3 vendors evaluated — per Gong call, 2026-04-20.

Open Issues & Requests
Operational pain
- Prior RCM director departed; credentialing knowledge gap — Lisa and Shawn learning as they go with no formal credentialing background.
- Physician hired October 2025 still not fully enrolled with all payers as of April 2026.
- Fee schedule accuracy concern: contracts from early 2000s/2011 may be stale; UHC unable/unwilling to provide a clear copy of current fee schedule.
- No centralized credentialing system — currently spreadsheet-based with partial email trail from prior RCM director.
- Hospital privileging managed ad-hoc per director/physician; reappointment tracking not centralized.
Decisions & Commitments
- 2026-04-20 — No formal budget set. Jake Shubert estimated deal at or near $50K annual floor given provider count (Gong 2026-04-20).
- 2026-04-20 — Jake Shubert disclosed $50K annual contract floor; Shawn Holley acknowledged it as within consideration range.
- 2026-04-20 — Preference confirmed: fully managed model (Medallion manages end-to-end), not software-only.
- 2026-04-20 — Next steps agreed: Lisa to gather ivfmd payer + hospital data by ~end of week; full network data (LA, FL) to follow via email to all clinics; Jake + Sam to prepare proposal + schedule demo.
- 2026-04-20 — Samantha noted average Medallion turnaround time is 54 days vs. industry standard 90–120 days.
- 2026-04-20 — Implementation timeline: priority providers (Oct hire + May 11 new physician) could start submissions within ~2 weeks of contract; full go-live 8–12 weeks.
