Saving Money On Ivf Treatment
If you are having difficulties conceiving and believe that IVF could well be the way forward
, you may be put off by the expense which, for many couples, is prohibitive. However, saving money on IVF treatment is entirely possible, with one such way being to look further afield than your nearest IVF clinic.
Your costs can be dramatically reduced, even when the cost of travel and accommodation is factored in. To give you an example, a single cycle in the USA can cost around $12,000. Compare this with the average cost in Costa Rica, which could be around $2,800.
Medical tourism abroad is an option which is increasing in popularity, with more and more couples taking the decision to travel. Of course, it is vital that you do your research first and a good starting point is to take a careful look at the clinic's website and check out the credentials of the doctors. It is no good saving money on IVF treatment if it is sub-standard! A reproductive endocrinologist should have a residency in obstetrics, gynecology and also be trained for 3 years within reproductive endocrinology. You should ensure that there is a High Complexity Lab Director, preferably with a PhD, on the staff who will be in charge of various procedures such as washing sperm, the preparation of eggs and embryo incubation.
You can also look out for accreditation from the JCI (Joint Commission International). This is an American agency which checks out clinics and hospitals outside of the USA. The accreditation is given when they comply with US safety standards so whilst is isn't the only means of comparison, it is a useful indicator when combined with other "measures".
Although an apparently reduced price per cycle may look attractive, the key to saving money on IVF treatment is to check out exactly which procedures are included. Try to compare "like with like". For example, does it include post-care treatment or fertility drugs. How much might they charge for any additional procedures you might require.
