Soft-IVF™ Fee

The cost of one cycle of Soft-IVF™ at Bay IVF Center is $5,885, the two cycle plan is $11,770. This represents only the laboratory portion of the treatment cost, as we do not bill for physician care at Bay IVF Center. The fees include the cost of all medications but do not include the cost of required prerequisites.

 

We hope that the Soft-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 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 25% successful pregnancy probability per Soft-IVF treatment cycle. Your actual odds of pregnancy could be higher or lower.

 

The total Soft-IVF treatment cost consists of the following two components:

 

• Cost of prerequisites
• Treatment fee

 

Some or all of the Soft-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.

You will receive all medications from us free of charge.

Bay IVF Center fees contain no hidden costs (facility fees, anesthesia fees, room fees, processing fees, etc.).
