How much does IVF cost?
During your first appointment, your specialist will assess your medical history, and will most likely require investigations such as blood tests, semen analysis or ultrasound tests before they determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Your final out-of-pocket costs will vary according to the recommendations of your Fertility Specialist, and our team of dedicated nurses and support staff will go through this in detail with you.
You will need a referral from your GP or another doctor to be eligible for Medicare rebates for your specialist appointments.
IVF treatment cycle costs
If IVF is the right treatment option for you, your Treatment Cycle fee is eligible for Medicare rebates, and includes:
- Fertility Specialist consultations
- Specialist nursing care and support
- Blood tests
- Pathology
- Ultrasounds
- Some medications
- Counselling during and immediately post cycle
Day surgery fees are usually only covered by private health insurance, not Medicare. This could include egg collection and embryo transfer for IVF and ICSI treatments. Your private health fund will be able to tell you what you are covered for.
Typical out-of-pocket costs for IVF treatment
This table shows estimated final out-of-pocket treatment cycle costs for a couple with top hospital insurance.
These costs are after your Medicare and private health cover rebate, but ALREADY INCLUDE fees charged by your treating fertility specialist during your cycle, private hospital and anesthetist fees, as well as embryo freezing and a six month storage fee. When comparing costs, we recommend you check that these costs are included.
