Managing Cost

Inexpensive therapies are often effective in treating infertility. Most patients become pregnant using oral medications alone or intrauterine inseminations (IUI). Fertility treatment costs increase if more advanced technologies are required. Depending on your insurance plan, diagnostic testing may be covered. However, most plans do not cover infertility treatments. In consult with each patient, our specialists prescribe the therapy most likely to result in pregnancy while considering many factors, including cost.

We offer a 100% Money Back IVF program, IVF multi-cycle discounts, low interest financing, and income based discounts to help patients afford care. We do everything possible to keep costs down, while helping patients to achieve the desired results.

Additionally, we match and beat our competitor’s prices by 2% (see details and exclusions below).

Consultation Fees

During the initial consultation, we provide patients with as much information as possible regarding diagnostic fertility tests needed, specific treatment options, and the fertility prognosis. Many insurance companies pay for the initial consultations (co-pay may be required and deductibles may apply). The full price for the initial consultation varies based on the amount of time spent with the patient and whether the patient has had previous infertility treatment. Diagnostic testing is not included in the cost of the consultation.

The Livestrong Foundation is an organization that supports cancer patients by negotiating for lower costs for services to preserve fertility. Here is a link to their website for more information.

Costs for Infertility Drugs

We recommend patients needing FSH stimulated cycles consider applying for Compassionate Care Medications from EMD Serono.

Medications from Outside Pharmacies

There are many variables that affect which medications may be needed making a precise cost estimate very difficult. Medications are purchased through outside pharmacies so we try to steer patients to the most cost-effective medication sources.

Using Insurance

Our billing team evaluates each patient’s benefits and treatment plan to help patients understand what insurance will pay. Many insurance plans cover the initial evaluation and diagnostic testing. Regretfully, many insurance carriers do not cover infertility treatments such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Our physicians are In-Network with many insurance companies, but not all specific insurance plans.

We strongly encourage you to check with your insurance plan to see if your doctor of choice is In-Network, and if not, determine if your plan has Out of Network benefits and if infertility testing and treatment are covered benefits. Reproductive Care Center is the preferred provider for the following insurance companies

Financial Assistance

Our financial counselors work very closely with each couple. We believe financial circumstances should not prevent families from having the child of their dreams.

Reproductive Care Center works with patients to help them plan for costs associated with infertility treatments. We offer several innovative programs, such as our IVF 100% Money Back Guarantee. You deliver a live baby, or your money is refunded.

For qualifying patients, financing is available through Reproductive Care Center, LLC, or CapexMD. Financing is available up to 80% of the cost of a Global Single Cycle. For the IVF Money Back Guarantee Package plan and the IVF Discounted Multiple Cycle Program, 100% financing is available.

Low interest rate loans have reasonable repayment terms for patients needing IVF with rates varying, starting at 4% APR with an average of 10-14% APR, depending on the credit worthiness of the applicant.

Grant money donated by Laurie Read of Dream Homes Utah – Keller Williams is available to help offset costs for need based patients seeking to grow their families. Grants must be used within 90 days of award and may only be used for new charges at RCC and cannot be applied to 3rd party charges such as medications, anesthesia, outside labs, or other services provided by a 3rd party.

Choosing to pay for single cycles can be less expensive if pregnancy occurs within two cycles, however, some patients will need more than two cycles. If you don’t have a baby after completing the guarantee program, your refund can be used for further treatment or to pursue other options.
