How much does IVF cost?

I believe my insurance covers 75%.

We also be doing ICSI.

For one round, ours would have been about $16k plus the cost of medication. Our monitoring & medication was covered by insurance, but that's it. This includes the cost of ICSI, assisted hatching and freezing of left over embryos. This was at NSLIJ.

Thanks - how expensive are the medications?

Re: How much does IVF cost?

I did something called "Micro IVF" or "Minimal Stimulation IVF". I did 5 days of Clomid and 2 injections of Bravelle instead of a full round of injectibles. My insurance covered the meds.

The "all included" prce at ECF was $3900.

You risk not having many eggs. I only ended up with 2 being retrieved, of those, only 1 fertilized and was transfered.

Its a risk, but a lot less $.

Re: How much does IVF cost?

i check my EOB and my medical insurance paid $2,775 just for the injections. the rest of the meds were covered under medco, they were all pretty decently priced. the only thing not covered was to freeze any embryo's which was $1200 and definately worth paying it..luckily everything else was coverd i had a few $30 co-pays as well. good luck, the financial should be able to give the proper pricing for everything before you start.

Re: How much does IVF cost?

I have GHI and it covered the procedure at 75 % so out of pocket cost me about $5,000.00 for the Dr and procedure and the meds only cost me about $200.00 I was lucky enough just to have a $50.00 copay for my meds.

With Dr. Braverman OOP is like $8000 per cycle or you can pay $10K and "buy" 3 more cycles for an additional $10K if the first one fails.

Either way. My costs of IVF are uncertain as of yet... they tell me to expect about 10K without meds.

My meds for the IVF cycle were about $4K by insurance... (I have a total limit of which I've used about 5500).

I'm sure if you are paying OOP, you can work stuff out.

Mine was around $10k without meds.. and it was also a converted cycle (from injectable/IUI) so it was a little different.

Re: How much does IVF cost?

My insurance covered my meds, so those cost me only about $200.

The procedure itself, and all the associated monitoring, cost about $8,500.00

Re: How much does IVF cost?

Mine was about $15k (also with ICSI and freezing of the embryos). That didn't included all the medications. Luckily my insurance pays 90%.
