An infertility diagnosis can come with lots of obstacles when it comes to paying for treatment. For some patients, they may have limited or no infertility benefits with their insurance plans so they have to figure out how to pay for treatment on their own. It’s important to know what costs you may incur and that you have options. Before beginning treatment, you should contact your insurance provider to find out what may be covered.
Here are some of the common costs associated with fertility treatment:
- Pre-Cycle Testing: Estimated $600 - $800
- Pre-Cycle Testing refers to all the testing/visits that occur before any treatment is initiated. This may include consultations, in-house bloodwork, and ultrasounds.
- Specific Diagnostic Tests: These tests may or may not be needed to determine the best treatment plan for you. They are often billed as infertility. Most insurance companies consider them diagnostic tests.
- HSG: Estimated fees $800
- Saline Ultrasound: Estimated fees $1000
- Outside bloodwork: (Billed directly by reference lab) Fees vary and may be dependent on your insurance coverage and whether the lab is out of network.
- Cycle Management Fees: $160 - $550
- Cycle Management Fees are an administration fee that is non-billable to your insurance per treatment cycle. This charge helps to defray the costs of your medical team to interpret lab results and ultrasounds and to advise on next steps during your cycle. We charge this in place of office visits to help patients saveon maximum limits with insurance.
