Guys, Here is my 2cents...

I was booked in to use SIVF, Sydney City clinic.

I signed a quote for ICSI which was to be $8920.70. This was everything included, including day surgeries, except as Rols said those meds on top.

My rate increase letter said that an ICSI cycle would be going up to $9071.70.

So for me, there was only going to be a small increase, but an increase none the less.

I was 100% impressed with the service / location / facilities / equipment etc offered from/at the clinic, and I adored my Dr, and would not have changed... However, I do know this is very $$$$$$$, and do find it terrible that in country areas, where you have no choice but to use SIVF, you should pay the same as me in the city where I have the full resources of their Clinic. As someone said, I cannot imagine that the rent in country areas could possibly be the same as a couple of floors in a city highrise...

I was offered the RPA Clinic by my Dr, but using the RPA clinic you only have access to the Dr on duty, and cant have continuity of care from your Dr, and it takes time to get started. But, I did seriously consider trying them out.
