How do the costs of in vitro fertilization compare between HRC and RFC in the United States? Let’s look at the cost estimate range first
Organize the public listing of the basic items of HRC egg freezing, distinguish between medical treatment, medicine, laboratory, storage and travel expenses, and explain the different billing units.
Currently directly comparable cost information
The basic items publicly listed on the HRC egg freezing page are: initial consultation, transvaginal ultrasound, intra-cycle monitoring and hormone testing, egg retrieval, surgical facility fees, and first-year egg storage. This range is not equal to the total cost of IVF. Whether medication, anesthesia and other conditions are included are subject to written cost estimate.
RFC's IVF and fertility preservation page introduces the project, but this site does not have complete personal quotes of the same caliber from two companies. The existing information can compare project scope, but not which total price is lower.
What content should be covered by the same cost estimate?
| Expense Category | Content |
|---|---|
| Clinical fees | Clinical items such as initial consultation, examination, monitoring, egg retrieval, anesthesia, and transfer. |
| Laboratory fees | IVF/ICSI, culture, biopsy, genetic testing, freezing and thawing, etc. |
| Medication | It may be settled separately by the pharmacy; the type and dosage of medication are determined by the doctor. |
| Storage | For the first period of storage and subsequent annual renewals, the egg and embryo items will be priced separately. |
| LAIVF service fees | If paid assistance is entrusted, the corresponding service content, term and amount shall be clear. |
| Travel and Third Party Services | Air tickets, accommodation, transportation and separately entrusted translation, etc. |
Billing conditions other than total price
"By cycle", "by number of embryos" and "by storage year" are different billing units. Biopsy and testing, freezing and preservation, egg retrieval and subsequent transfer may also be charged separately. The written cost estimate should also state payment milestones, cancellation and settlement rules after plan changes.
