*bump* it would still be great to hear anyones recent experiences with SIVF Canberra

i rang SIVF in Sydney this week as i have had such difficulties with my private health fund getting reimbursed for my EPU and ET last November just when the Canberra clinic had moved into their new facilities and hence now do their own EPU and ET.

i have top hospital cover and have only ever had to pay my excess once per year while having IVF. back in Nov 07 when we rocked up to have EPU and then ET we were required to pay for the procedure in full up front ($950 and $550). according my my PHI SIVF Canberra don't have any contracted agreements with any of the PHI funds then or still now. so everyone has to pay upfront and hope to get some of it back from their PHI. i was really annoyed as we were never told this beforehand by SIVF and hence are now hundreds of $ out of pocket. this additional cost really starts to add up if you have several treatments a year.
