    Hey Ladies,

    Just thought I would post in here about the Extended Medicare Safety Net... after much research I came across the following Medicare webpage which actually lists the EMSN maximum pay outs for each IVF and OB Item Number. It is very useful if you are able to obtain item numbers from your clinic for your particular cycle to work out exactly what your out of pocket expenses are going to be. These figures (EMSN) will become relevant once you have reached the Medicare Safety Net out of pocket expenses for the year which is $1157.50:

    Hope this info is able to help!


    Mods, apologies if I am unable to post the above web link.... please let me know and I will remove if not allowed. If this is the case then I am happy to PM the link to anyone who would like it .

    Hi, does anyone have updated pricing? We are about to go through our first IVF cycle and have just been told the costs have all increased by about 10%. yikes!

    miloro: yep i found that out the other day, you are probably going through the same ivf clinic as me, the price for ivf has gone up from $7395 to $7765, if you need ICSI that has gone from $695 to $730 and if you are doing pgd too that is now $3495 (from $2995) so for us it has gone up $900, that was an unpleasant surprise !

    Yowser! They don't make this an easy process do they? But at least we have some Medicare rebates, better than some countries.

    Minniemouse, are you going to IVF Australia at gosford? I'm seeing dr Quinn (I can't help adding medicine woman in my head )

    I'm going through concept when we move move back to Perth (Im 5 hours away in the country) I havent been for my treatment plan with the FS yet. I am going to have a laparoscopy before I start IVF to clear up some cysts and also possibly remove my right fallopain tube (its blocked) I know this is more about the cost for IVF but I was curious has anyone had day surgery there and remember the cost?? I dont have private insurance!
