    we booked ours for October , Because frankly even if you save just a little , You are still saving and who really knows if the first attempt at ICSI is going to take . Dont get me wrong we were always going to do it , But it meant we decided to start a few months earlier . As Canberra Fertility Centre explained it seems that each procedure will have an item number and a set amount that can be claimed!

    When I worked in Health insurance a few years back items numbers had set medicare scheduled fees ( this usually meant that the paitent was left out of pocket.

    All though they state that specialists fees are too much and that they beleive that specialists will be forced to charge less ( this does not occur when you pay 65-120 to see a gp and get back 33.00 ) I would have preferred that they didnt have the baby bonus at all ! Or the stupid 900 stimulus that also got issued to dead people and pets , What an abs stuff up that was!!
