RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- New Life Agency, Inc. today announced that it has added CRINONE ® 8% the first FDA-approved natural form of progesterone for progesterone supplementation and RESOLVE The National Infertility Association providing resources and information to New Life Agency’s patients utilizing Fertility Pharmacy Care Card® (FPCC). Together with The Fertility Pharmacy Care Card® and The Assisted Reproduction Insurance Program®, New Life Agency continues to develop and offer some of the best financial solutions in the country for the ever-rising costs of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, procedures and fertility medications to patients suffering from infertility.

FPCC provides infertile patients a cash only program with significant discounts on fertility medications for fertility patients, their egg donor and when needed their surrogate. New Life Agency aligned with Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to include Crinone®(progesterone gel 8%) in the program which will provide patients a $30.00 savings on every Crinone® prescription.
