Sorry for the slow replies, work has been keeping me ultra busy Jay and I spoke to repromed this week and got stung by a 10K non-medicare claimable fee-For sperm processing. I didn't speak to them myself, but from what Jay told me the fee exists even if you bring your own donor into the equation. They then keep everything on ice for 6 months minimum, and after then can start going through the process. We haven't actually had an appointment with them, just been spoken to over the phone and are quite disenheartened about it at the moment. We were expecting it to be a relatively costly exercise, but we were astonished at the extra expenses-including the appointment fee of $150.
At the moment we are waiting to hear from Flinders to hear what their story is - they bulk bill appointments and according to the website the total out of pocket cost is around $1500. I am wondering if they have a secret expense too. The only trouble for us with Flinders is it is MILES away - we are in the Northern suburbs, and it will mean a lot of travelling - and fun and games in trying to get there for early morning tests and things.
What have your experiences thus far been like? Do you have any tips for us in how to deal with everything?? If you don't mind me asking, how much has it cost you?
