Hi I noticed you mentioned "Freemasons"... what does that mean? I thought Freemason was a religion??

So sad to hear how much everyone going thru IVF has to pay

[beau_9]

i'm hoping someone is able to help. DH and i have been told we have to go through ivf, but we don't have the money to pay for it yet. Do we tell our FS that we are going to save and then go through with it, even though it may take a while. we're just not sure how to approach the subject.
we're going through monash ivf in rockhampton.

[Lenny]

Definitely talk to your FS. They know that this is a huge expense and they need you to be comfortable paying for it all, too. They may be able to offer suggestions to you to help you reach your goal (i.e. my FS did all my procedures etc at Royal Women's Hosp in Melbourne as opposed to Freemason's Hosp, as Royal Women's is a lot cheaper.)
Good Luck.

beau, does Monash do their procedures through the Hillcrest? I think the Hillcrests bed fees are a little cheaper than the Mater, have only been told that though. I have had a day procedure at the Hillcrest (quite a few years ago) and they were absolutely wonderful.
I agree with Lenny, have a chat to your FS about it. I know it might feel a little funny saying you need to save for a little, but they might have some suggestions for you, plus they might have a plan of action for you while you save.

goodluck with everything.

hey beau

just thought i would let you know that i am going to be doing ivf with monash in rocky as well and i rang them the other day as money is an issue with us, plus we dont have private health and they said that i can do a prepayment which is more or less like paying the gap, she told me it will cost me around $4500 for an icsi cycle and that includes the doctors fee, which i think is pretty good and then the other thing you have to pay for is the day surgery fee which is at the hill crest and she said it will be around $1000-$1500 but that includes both the egg pick up and the egg transfer which is pretty good. so i have done a rough estimate at how much i would need and it works out to be around the $6000 mark to do a complete cycle,

if you want feel free to pm me at any time if you feel like a chat
also just give them a call thats all i did and they were great, i told them money was a bit of a problem and thats when she told me about the prepayment thing, which isnt to bad, any of the money you get back from medicare goes straight to them and you pay what medicare doesnt cover. doing it this way is going to help my situation and is going to allow me to do an actually cycle this yr instead of waiting till next yr

hope this has helped

take care
