We realize that the process of resolving infertility can be difficult for many people, and the financial aspects of treatment can be especially daunting. Our goal is to minimize any confusion or frustration by providing as much information and assistance as possible. We tailor each treatment plan to the individual patient which helps contain costs and ensures that unnecessary tests and procedures are avoided.

Insurance Coverage

The UCSF Center for Reproductive Health works with several major insurance carriers, and our financial consultants can help you determine if your health plan offers any benefits that might cover some or all of the costs of your care. Call (415) 353-7636 and ask for an insurance consultation if you have questions.

Financing Options for IVF Services

Unfortunately, many HMOs and insurance plans in California do not cover in vitro fertilization. For our IVF patients without insurance coverage, we offer several financial options to help you finance your care.

We offer a fee-for-service option where patients can pay out-of-pocket for the services they receive, which includes monitoring, blood tests, anesthesia, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer. Micromanipulation procedures are additional costs. Please call Anita Scott, Patient Financial Navigator, at (415) 353-7636 if you have further questions or would like additional information.

How much does the fertility treatment cost? Will my insurance cover it? Will I be able to afford the cost?
