Reproductive Health: Paying for treatment
There are many financing options available for your IVF cycles and IVF prescriptions. Many fertility centers offer IVF refund programs to make IVF more affordable. Clinics often offer a package of 2 to 3 IVF cycles at a discounted rate. For refund programs, some centers provide a percentage of cost to be refunded for failed IVF cycles, commonly termed "shared risk." You may be able to find financial assistance from some of the programs listed here. You also should speak to a financial coordinator—most fertility specialists and centers have financial coordinators who can refer you to financial assistance.
