    Hi, we just finished a down regulation ICSI cycle as a public patient. It cost $5,300 which medicare gave back $3,500. We had to pay $287 for day hospital bed. and there may be an anaethetist fee of of about $100 or $150 still. Sperm storage for the year cost $198, that is paid after the first year in retrospect. We did this on our VISA because I'm not getting any younger. I received the hospital tax invoice the day after ET so went straight to Medicare to claim it.
