If you are struggling with infertility and are considering IVF, the possible cost of treatment is one of the most important things to consider. Although the cost can be high, many couples decide that the cost of IVF is worth it for them, and that tools like insurance and financing make the cost more manageable. Below, we will take a look at what contributes to the cost of IVF, as well as where you can find affordable IVF in Chicago.‍

What Makes IVF Affordable?

‍When you consider the cost of IVF in Chicago, it is important to consider more than just the numbers that represent the cost of a treatment cycle. Instead, you should consider the cost of a treatment cycle in conjunction with the effectiveness and safety of the treatment provided. For example, some clinics may have more affordable rates, but may have unsafe practices such as transferring too many embryos at once. In addition, a clinic that adopts the most effective procedures and provides a great deal of support throughout the IVF process may be more expensive at a glance, but has better success rates and safer practices that make that clinic more affordable in balance.

‍Insurance Coverage and Financing Options

‍Although the cost of IVF can be high, the good news is that the majority of employers in Illinois are required to provide insurance that covers the cost of IVF. This means that the biggest factor that determines your out of pocket costs is your insurance coverage. If your insurance has a high deductible and copay, your out of pocket costs can be high; others may have lower copays. You should also find out exactly which procedures your insurance covers and does not cover, and how many treatment cycles are covered.

If you do not have insurance, or cannot handle your out of pocket costs all at once, you may turn to financing to make the cost of IVF more affordable. Most patients use patient financing companies, but health care credit cards, traditional credit cards, loans, and other forms of financing are also options.
