IVF Fees
Genea offers a unique method of payment that requires NO UPFRONT FEE.
This structure will help relieve you of much of the financial burden of IVF treatment.
The Genea Difference:
- Your cycle payment is not due until after embryo transfer
- Unlike other clinics, your out-of-pocket timeframe is 5 days instead of up to 5 weeks
- We will lodge your paid invoice with Medicare on your behalf -
you do not have to visit a Medicare branch and your refund is deposited
directly into your bank account
- You will have your own patient relationship coordinator to explain the process and answer questions
Out-of-pocket costs - Cycle payment is not due until after embryo transfer (ET)
Monitoring of your cycle by your own Genea doctor, including:
- Pathology tests at Genea approved labs
- Ultrasounds performed by Genea approved ultrasound service providers.
Egg collection available 7 days a week
- When the time is right for you
- Always by your own Genea doctor (unless unforseen circumstances arise)
- On-site, eliminating the need to move your embyos.
No extra costs for local anaesthesia
Blastocyst culture is routine
- Genea has an unmatched success rate with transfer of blastocysts, fresh or frozen.
There will be some additional costs associated with:
- Doctor's consultation
- Day surgery
- General anaesthesia (if required)
- Pre-diagnostic tests
- Drugs that are not covered by Medicare, such as Lucrin, Provera, Synarel and progesterone pessaries.
