Choosing our experts means a better chance of making a baby sooner.

When you’re thinking about the cost of treatment, remember, not all clinics are created equal. Your first steps may not even be toward IVF – actually, only half our patients need it. That means the costs here might not apply to you, and there are other baby-making journeys our Fertility Specialists can guide you on.

If IVF’s the way to go, then the quicker you get pregnant, the less draining it is on your pocket, and on you. That’s where having our world-leading, baby-making team by your side from day dot makes a whole lot of difference.

Day surgery costs (NSW, ACT only)

Day surgery theatre and accommodation costs are often covered by private health insurance but if patients have limited or no health fund cover, the procedure costs at a Genea day surgery unit will be up to $1,515 for egg collection, $895 for embryo transfer or $405 for an IUI (non-claimable). Please note that there may be additional charges for anaesthetist fees if required. Prices quoted are only guaranteed at Genea Day Surgeries. Please contact the clinic-associated day surgery unit to obtain prices.

Many of Genea’s procedures are done under local anaesthetic, which is included in the cycle costs above. However, when a general anaesthetic is required it will incur an additional cost. Not all clinics allow patients to stay awake during the procedures but we find many of our patients prefer to be awake. This means patients are able to discuss egg numbers and embryo quality with their doctor and embryologist.

Please note these prices are a guide only, and subject to change. If the clinic doesn’t have a Genea Day Surgery, please confirm with the clinic and/or the day hospital for current procedure pricing.

FAQ

Consider a clinic that isn’t just about IVF. If a clinic can get patients pregnant without invasive and expensive treatment, money will be saved. Help doesn’t always mean IVF. Genea takes an individual approach and develops personalised treatment plans for each patient. As well as offering IVF, Genea also offers services such as ovulation tracking and ovulation induction to facilitate natural conception. In fact, only 50% of patients who see a Genea fertility specialist require IVF.

Below some advice when speaking to other clinics about their costs:

The out of pocket cost may not be the only expense you need to pay. Make sure you check with the clinic that the full costs associated with your treatment are included. Ask specifically for details of what is required on top of the out of pocket figure.
Day surgery theatre fees, anesthetist fees and accommodation fees may be additional on some cycles. Make sure you clarify these specific costs with the clinic or hospital.
Recognise that pre-treatment and post treatment fees such as doctor consultations, blood tests, ultrasounds and storage costs may increase your out of pocket.
Your out of pocket cost may be higher than advertised if you have not reached your Medicare safety net.
If you don’t have health insurance, your health fund is not contracted with the hospital or clinic or if you have a restricted plan, this may increase your out of pocket. The item numbers that are most commonly used in ART treatment are 13212, 13215 and 13218. It is best to contact your private insurer directly to discuss and ask the clinic how this will then impact your out of pocket expenses.

If you do require IVF, you need to understand the importance of selecting a clinic that offers the best science and leading processes to offer value for money and reduce the number of stimulated cycles.

While low-cost IVF may appear to be a convenient solution, the number of IVF cycles required to achieve conception can add up financially, and the nature of the treatment can take an unexpected personal toll.
