Ok, here's the pricing

Standard IVF cycle is $5500. If you are having an IVF/ICSI cycle the price is $5880
We just claimed this from medicare and already had a little money contributed to our safety net balance so got back a couple of hundred dollars more than we thought we would, somewhere just over $4100. They tell you that you need to be able to carry this cost for around a month as they don't send out the proper invoice/receipt with the medicare item numbers until after you've had pick up and transfer.

There is a registration fee which is $185, and is not claimable from medicare, so be sure to keep the receipt to claim at the end of the financial year.
If using donor sperm, the registration fee goes up to $485, don't know why it's dearer though? We paid the reg. fee then had our nurse interview over the phone as we are too far away.

Embryo Storage is $150 every 6 months and the first 6 months is included in the $5500 payment.

Progesterone pessaries are $45 for 15 and
Crinone is $180 for a box 15. Our nurse told us that we would get 2 free packets of each of these after transfer, but we only got the 2 boxes of Crinone. Have just needed to get 2 more boxes of the pessaries and we were charged $100.10 for the 2. It says if you get a postive test they may continue you on the pessaries up till week 11. I took the receipt to our health insurance and got $50 back from the $100.

QFG Day Theatre fees are $795 for IVF and $240 for Embryo Transfer, obviously billed straight to your Health Insurance.

Anaethetist fees are approximately $500. Though it says it can vary considerably. We were lucky enough that the anaethetist who saw me billed our PHI and medicare and sent a bill for just our out of pocket costs which came to $129.

Doctor's fees for pick up and transfer are approximately $680. this bill i haven't received yet as we were seeing dr khoo in rockhampton for our scans and picking up our injections and went to brissie for pick up and transfer.

If you go onto a frozen transfer, it is $1395 and the medicare rebate is $567.80.

Hope I haven't confused you too much Dee. I found it rather confusing when I got all the paperwork originally, but our nurse went through every piece of paper with us, in the pack.

If you have any other questions, I'll gladly try to answer them for you

Goodluck
