Just to put the nail in the coffin on this issue, I have confirmed that you do, in fact, receive $1,000 off a banking cycle.
You do not receive $1,000 on subsequent cycles if you attempt a cycle(get the discount) and then go back for a second cycle. The reason is because the IVF fee for the first cycle is $8,900 and it is reduced already to $6,600. You don't get an extra $1,000 off the already reduced fee.
This info comes from Lucy at HRC if anyone needs a source. fk, after your first cycle, they quote a reduced fee so you received the $1,000 the first go around but hopefully that explains it.

No discount received since then. Paid for banking cycles out of pocket cash and was told no discount on banking cycles too. That is the bone of contention.
Lucy is a new name to me in their billing department. Sorry, but your info that I received $1000 on first go round, is 100% inaccurate.
If you want to provide me with specifics, I can reach out to them on your behalf. You wouldn't need a discount with insurance because it's a negotiated rate and not the same as cash pay. Only those in the US will understand what that means.
Lucy has been with Dr Potter a long time. I would call and speak with so wine. I would not rely on email.
