In Vitro Fertilization Fee

The cost of one cycle of In Vitro Fertilization at Bay IVF Center is $6,780, the two cycle plan is $13,560. This represents only the laboratory portion of the treatment cost, as we do not bill for physician care at Bay IVF Center. This fee does not include the cost of medication and required prerequisites.

 

We hope that the IVF treatment fee at Bay IVF Center will maximize the affordability of In Vitro Fertilization and by being able to plan for more than one cycle of treatment, also maximize the probability of a successful outcome.

 

Most patients can increase their cumulative pregnancy probability through more than one cycle of treatment. A treatment cycle represents completion of ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

 

The following graph illustrates the increase in successful pregnancy probability if you decide to plan more than one cycle of treatment.

 

 

In this example, we used an arbitrary 35% successful pregnancy probability per In Vitro Fertilization treatment cycle. Your actual odds of pregnancy could be higher or lower.

 

The total IVF treatment cost consists of the following three components:

 

• Cost of prerequisites
• Medication cost
• Treatment fee

 

Some or all of the IVF cost may be covered by your insurance.

 

Cost of Prerequisites

 

Bay IVF Center requires very few prerequisites. You could complete them within a short period of time and be ready to start your treatment cycle as soon as possible. If some of the prerequisites have already been done, they may not need to be repeated.

 

Required Prerequisites:

 

Female partner physical examination	$0
Measurement of the uterus size	$0
Pelvic ultrasound	$0
Sonohysterogram	$0
Ovarian Reserve Assay (before each cycle of treatment)	$485
Semen analysis	$195
Male and female partner pathogen testing required by the State of California, typically done and billed by an outside laboratory of patient’s choice.

 

Genetic Testing (Optional)

 

All future parents should consider genetic screening (video) for over 100 most common genetic diseases. Please let us know at the time of your initial appointment at Bay IVF Center if you wish to have your blood sample sent for genetic screening. The cost of this testing is $380 per person.

 

Cost of Medications

 

The typical cost is $1,500 to $2,500 or more per cycle of IVF treatment charged by a pharmacy.

 

Treatment Fee - One Cycle - $6,780

 

Services covered in the one cycle fee:

Your IVF treatment may require supplementary laboratory procedures billed in addition to the regular treatment fee of $6,780:

1. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection-ICSI ($1,900): The ICSI procedure may be needed for egg fertilization. You will be scheduled for partial or full ICSI if any of the following applies:

    

   1. The male partner has never caused a pregnancy or only with the help of ICSI.

       

   2. In your prerequisite semen analysis or in the semen collected the day of your egg retrieval, the total number of motile sperm in the whole ejaculate is less than 5 million.

       

   3. In your prerequisite semen analysis or in the semen collected the day of your egg retrieval, the percentage of morphologically normal sperm is less than 5%.

       

   4. Low yield of high quality sperm: After your semen sample has been prepared for egg insemination, the total number of progressively (vigorously) motile sperm in the whole sample is less than 3 million.

       

   5. Less than three mature eggs were retrieved.

    

2. Assisted Hatching of embryos ($980): You will be scheduled for the Assisted Hatching procedure if either one of the following applies:

    

   1. History of one or more unsuccessful IVF or Soft-IVF™ treatments

       

   2. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) level of 8.0 or greater in the treatment cycle's Ovarian Reserve Assay

    

3. Cryopreservation and storage of embryos ($1,100): If you have “extra” embryos left after the embryo transfer, you may decide to cryopreserve and store them for possible future use. This fee includes up to 12 months of embryo storage.

    

4. Sperm cryopreservation and storage fee is ($415): If you anticipate any problems providing a semen specimen on the day of your egg retrieval, please ask us to freeze your preliminary semen specimen as a back-up. This fee includes up to 3 months of sperm storage. Using frozen semen for treatment will require semen specimen thawing ($170).
