The Sticker Price vs. Reality
Clinics often advertise a "base cycle fee" (e.g., $12,000), but this rarely includes everything. The real cost is often closer to $20,000+ per cycle when you factor in:
- Medications: $3,000 - $6,000 (often not included in base fee)
- Anesthesia: $500 - $1,000
- PGT-A Testing: $2,000 - $5,000
- Storage Fees: $500 - $1,000/year
Hidden Costs to Watch For
Don't get blindsided by these common add-ons:
- Monitoring Appointments: If you are monitoring outside your clinic (satellite monitoring), you may pay per ultrasound.
- ICSI: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection often costs extra.
- Cryopreservation: Freezing embryos usually has an initial fee plus annual rent.

Common Questions
Does insurance cover IVF?
It depends entirely on your state mandate and employer plan. Always call your provider and ask for a copy of your 'fertility benefits summary' before starting.
Why are medications so expensive?
Fertility medications are specialized biologics. Prices can vary wildly between pharmacies, so it pays to shop around or use discount programs.
