That is a straightforward question that should have a clear and simple answer. However, at some in vitro fertilization centers the answer is confusing.
Some clinics charge separately for the various components of IVF. For example, there can be costs from the hospital, from the lab that runs the blood tests, from radiology for ultrasounds, from anesthesia doctors - and from the IVF clinic and fertility doctors.
Be sure that you understand the total cost of the in vitro fertilization cycle before committing to treatment. The average cost for a complete IVF cycle in the US is about $12,000 plus medications. In large metropolitan areas it is often higher.
There are some low cost IVF programs that charge significantly less than average, while others charge $15,000 or more for a complete in vitro cycle without meds.
Do not equate cost with quality when it comes to IVF. Some clinics charge a lot but have low success rates. Be sure to know the IVF live birth success rates at any center you consider.

Medication costs can be as low as $1500 for an IVF treatment, but average about $3000 and can be higher than this (sometimes as high as $4500).
The cost of IVF stimulation medications depends mostly on the drug doses and the duration of stimulation needed to get a good response from the ovaries. Insurance sometimes covers in vitro fertilization medications.
All in vitro fertilization costs listed on this page reflect "cash discounts" and must be paid in advance unless we have a written statement from your insurance company saying that they will pay for IVF.
"Cash discounted" IVF costs are for couples without fertility insurance coverage, or those that prefer to pay in advance and submit their own billing to insurance.
Insurance companies do not accept a "package price" for IVF (there is no CPT code for it). Because insurance is billed by individual procedure, the total billed depends on what is done during the IVF cycle.
The total billed to insurance for the IVF-related codes (without ICSI) is about $8000 at our center. The total we bill insurance for ovarian stimulation monitoring for in vitro fertilization is about $2000.

A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches and entrance criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic
