Medical Coverage for Fertility Treatments
- Many medical procedures involved in your egg retrieval are covered by private insurance. Please review your private plan, if you have one, to see if it covers fertility treatments.
- Before you begin, please ask your insurance company to provide a written explanation of your specific coverage. Knowing what they cover as you prepare to make this important decision will be helpful.
- Check with your employers to see if you have options. Things like “Flex benefits” or a “Healthcare Spending Account” may help offset some costs.
- Finally, would fertility treatment coverage at your company be beneficial? Reach out to talk about getting it listed on your company policy.
Fertility Medication
- The stimulation part of your egg freezing cycle will need special fertility medications. These medications are crucial for ensuring the development of mature eggs, which are necessary for successful egg retrieval. Costs for fertility medications will vary. Depending on your extended health plan, you may have complete, partial, or no coverage for medication.
- Your insurance company may need pre-authorization for your medications. Your EVOLVE team can provide you with a letter for your insurance provider outlining the medications you are taking and including the DINs (Drug Identification Numbers).
- Always check with your insurance plan to determine if there are total amount limits, total treatment cycle limits, and yearly or lifetime limits. Do this before you submit a claim to optimize your coverage.
Egg Freezing and Your Income Taxes
Fertility treatments qualify as deductible medical expenses on your income tax return. This tax credit can help you reduce the impact of medical costs. In all cases, please check with your accountant for further details and to confirm eligibility..
Allowable fertility medical expenses on your income tax include:
- Select fertility medications
- Embryo Freezing
- Embryology Lab Fee
Additional Considerations
Retrieval Cycles and Pregnancy
The number of viable eggs retrieved is not guaranteed during your egg-freezing cycle. Sometimes, you may have to go through multiple cycles to retrieve more eggs. While egg freezing is an excellent option for fertility preservation, it’s essential to know that it does not guarantee a successful pregnancy. Before committing to freezing your eggs, it is crucial to speak with a fertility specialist to make sure you have all of the necessary information to make an informed decision.
Embryo Transferring & Additional Services
If/when you decide to try to conceive, there will also be additional costs for the embryo transfer process. At EVOLVE, our pricing for embryo transfers ranges from $1,250 to $2,750, depending on whether your embryo is frozen.
We also offer additional services for an added cost that might be needed, or you might wish to have done depending on your treatment protocol. Some of these services include a PGT-A Biopsy (formerly called PGS), which is $2,200, PGT-A Testing on an Embryo, which costs $425, and a Mock Transfer Cycle, which costs $500. Visit our fertility treatments costs page to learn more about the additional services we offer and pricing.
Success Rates
Learning more about success rates is another crucial consideration before freezing your eggs. As people age, successful egg retrieval, freezing, and fertilization rates decrease. Other aspects, such as ovarian reserve, egg quality, genetics, lifestyle, and overall health, can also impact the success of your egg freezing cycle. To learn more, look at our egg freezing calculator and pre-freeze program.
