What are prices for IVF like in your town?
I am staring at the paper right now, though we have 100% insurance coverage (other than standard office visits, we pay the co-pay), I asked for a paper so I could see the breakdown of prices for Ohio.
REQURED FOR IVF
1 Counseling Session - $135 (not covered by insurance)
1 SHG or HSG - $480
1 Injection class - free
IVF EXPENSES
6 to 10 Office visits - $76 each (we ONLY pay co-pay of $30 each visit)
3 Subsequent Ultrasounds - $191 each or $573 total
Follicle Retrieval - $1,875
Identification of Oocyte Id - $655
IVF & Embryo Culture & Fertilization - $1,447
Prep Embryo for Transfer - $312
Embryo Transfer - $623
US ET FET Guidance - $109
A total, going by their guidelines for a bill of $6,549
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We paid $435 total. :)
We only had to pay for the $135 counseling session and then all of our co-pays up front, so we paid $300 (for 10 visits, we will be refunded if not used)
I feel like I'm bragging but I am sooo excited that we have this coverage and I feel blessed in this sense. I just wish I could start the damn process!
