IVF Cost
Single Cycle In Vitro Fertilization Options
SINGLE FRESH CYCLE:
You may elect to do an IVF cycle with a fresh transfer. The package price of $8,600 includes: all ultrasounds during ovarian stimulation and blood tests done to monitor the egg stimulation, egg retrieval fees (surgeon & anesthesia), laboratory charges for sperm preparation on the day of egg retrieval (dish fertilization), egg search, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. ICSI, AH and PGS/PGD fees are additional if needed. Medications are not included.
IVF FREEZE ALL CYCLE:
You may elect to do an IVF cycle with the goal of freezing embryos due to our high success rates with frozen embryos. The package price covers an egg retrieval and one frozen transfer. This package price is $10,450 and includes: all ultrasounds during ovarian stimulation and blood tests done to monitor the egg stimulation, egg retrieval fees (surgeon, anesthesia), laboratory charges for sperm preparation on the day of egg retrieval (dish fertilization), egg search, embryo culture, embryo cryopreservation, one quarter of storage fees, plus one frozen embryo transfer cycle. ICSI, AH and PGS/PGD fees are additional if needed. If more frozen embryo transfer cycles are necessary, the additional fee is $2,850 per transfer. Medications are not included.
FROZEN EMBRYO TRANSFER CYCLE (FET)
If you have embryos that met criteria for cryopreservation, your next cycle could be significantly less expensive than the fresh cycle. These embryos are available to use right away if you do not become pregnant from your fresh cycle or for you to use down the road when you are ready to expand your family further, as long as you have maintained your storage payments. An FET package is $2,850 and includes: blood tests prior to the transfer, ultrasound to measure endometrial thickness, thaw, preparation for transfer and the actual transfer. Natural cycle frozen embryo transfers and donor frozen embryo transfer packages are different. See the Practice Manager for these fees. Medications are not included.
IVF Success or Refund Program to Share the Financial Risk of IVF
As successful as IVF has become there is still a significant proportion of couples who will not deliver a baby regardless of how many times IVF is attempted. This is where a refund program, often referred to as a “shared risk” program, offers additional reassurance. We are pleased and excited to be able to offer such a program at the Reproductive Medicine & Surgery Center of Virginia, PLC.
The idea is if you elect to participate (and are accepted) in the IVF Success or Refund Program you pay more than you would for a single cycle but you are guaranteed to have 6 completed IVF treatments for that one price and if you are not successful after the 6th attempt then your money is refunded 100%. We define success the same way you do- bringing home a baby.
Pricing for IVF Success or Refund Program:
IVF- $20,000
IVF with ICSI- $23,900
The vast majority of the couples in our practice would be eligible to participate in the Program. If you are 39 years old or older (unless you are using donor eggs) you will not be eligible. In fact, we need to determine that if you are 38 years old that there is reasonable time before your 39th birthday to complete 6 IVF treatment cycles, and any frozen embryo transfer cycles that may occur in-between. The decision of our committee takes into consideration many aspects including, but not limited to, age, diagnosis of infertility, sperm quality, follicle stimulating hormone and estradiol levels, social habits of both partners- such as smoking, alcohol and caffeine use, exercise level, presence of a hydrosalpinx (blocked Fallopian tube) or ovarian cyst(s), ultrasound measurements of the ovaries, total number of ovarian antral follicles, previous response to medication(s) to stimulate the ovaries, body mass index, and many other issues that have been shown to relate to IVF success.
This program includes: stimulation visits (ultrasound and blood testing) for monitoring; physician fees for monitoring visits, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer; IVF Lab fees for egg culture, fertilization, and embryo transfer; and dmbryo cryopreservation by vitrification
This program excludes: embryo cryostorage; medications; anesthesia fee for the IVF egg retrievals; assisted hatching; pre-IVF tests (screening to get you ready for starting IVF- often covered by your insurance company if you have coverage for diagnostic testing); procedures to obtain sperm for the male partner or donor sperm; preimplantation genetic screening/diagnosis (genetic testing of the embryos); pregnancy or complications of IVF, but in almost all cases these services would be covered by your healthcare insurance company.
Two Retrievals + Unlimited Transfers Program
We offer another discounted option for IVF which includes a package of 2 fresh IVF cycles + unlimited frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles based on the number of embryos you have frozen after a fresh cycle. When you participate in this program, we discount the cost of these treatment cycles by approximately 1/3 compared to what you would pay if you purchased them separately (and completed at least 2 fresh IVF and 2 frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles). Our goal is to provide you the most treatments as affordably as possible.
This Program is designed for patients whose doctor recommends IVF treatment using their own eggs and who do not have insurance coverage and are not eligible for our IVF Success or Refund Program. Anyone meeting these 3 criteria is eligible for the 2 Fresh + Unlimited Frozen Cycles IVF Package program regardless of age.
Pricing for 2 cycle discounted program:
IVF- $15,000
IVF w/ ICSI- 17,000
This program includes: stimulation visits (ultrasound and blood testing) for monitoring; physician fees for monitoring visits, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer; IVF Lab fees for egg culture, fertilization, and embryo transfer; and dmbryo cryopreservation by vitrification
This program excludes: embryo cryostorage; medications; anesthesia fee for the IVF egg retrievals; assisted hatching; pre-IVF tests (screening to get you ready for starting IVF- often covered by your insurance company if you have coverage for diagnostic testing); procedures to obtain sperm for the male partner or donor sperm; preimplantation genetic screening/diagnosis (genetic testing of the embryos); pregnancy or complications of IVF, but in almost all cases these services would be covered by your healthcare insurance company.
