Financing and Government IVF Funding Could Mean Growth for $IVOB

September 18th, 2009 at 10:30 am Posted by The Dean

INVO Bioscience (OTC: IVOB) was recently in the news announcing the completion of a previous $500,000 in financing, which $IVOB CEO Kathleen Karloff reported the “terms are currently being negotiated.” Karloff also mentioned that this financing transition will “allow the company to continue with product launch.”

As infertility is a large problem that affects millions of women and men around the world, The Dean thinks this could enable $IVOB to market their INVOcell in more parts of the world.

Looking at infertility at the news today, The Dean finds that the government IVF funding debate continues—this time across the pond in England. While similar debates have seen positive developments in Canadian provinces like Quebec, countries such as Belgium, Sweden, Denmark and Australia have already approved government funding for IVF procedures.

Like many countries, it seems that England’s health care system is concerned about funding IVF because oftentimes it can result in pregnancies with multiple birth outcomes. Since $IVOB‘s INVO procedure implants a maximum of only 2 embryos, The Dean believes $IVOB is attractive option to change the minds of governments around the world about IVF funding.

The Dean thinks there’s plenty of potential for $IVOB to grow because governments like Australia are improving Medicare to include rebates for IVF treatments. Australian rebates for IVF treatments up to $4,000 will become available and The Dean thinks this is great news for infertile couples and $IVOB because the INVO procedure is a fraction of the cost of conventional IVF and could be completely covered by such rebate efforts.

The ironic part about this approval, is that governments in Australia and other countries assume that IVF treatments will continue to be extremely expensive, moving the previous rebate of $1,000 to $4,000.

With financing for $IVOB and government funding for IVF, The Dean believes the benefits of $IVOB‘s INVO procedure could quickly become desired and readily available in countries across the map.
