Success Rates Never Mattered More

What sets us apart from other fertility clinics?

We give personalized attention to every patient, not possible in "super-sized" clinics. Tight quality control gives us consistently higher IVF success rates - so our patients are more likely to have babies.

Single Cycle IVF Cost Details - Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago

We offer several different affordable IVF – in vitro fertilization cost plans, including multiple cycle plans with or without money back if it doesn’t work.

Costs for additional procedures:

Included services in our IVF cost:

Excluded services - not included in our IVF costs:

  • Pre-IVF screening tests (see below)
  • Medications (see below)
  • Embryo or sperm freezing or storage – these are optional services
  • Pregnancy testing and monitoring of early pregnancy
  • Consultations with the physician

That is a straightforward question that should have a clear and simple answer. However, at some IVF centers the answer is confusing.

Some clinics charge separately for the various components of IVF. For example, there can be charges from:

  • A hospital
  • The lab that runs the blood tests
  • Radiology for ultrasounds
  • Anesthesia providers
  • The IVF laboratory
  • The fertility doctors

Be sure that you understand the total cost of the in vitro fertilization cycle before committing to treatment. The average cost for a complete IVF cycle in the US is about $12,000 plus medications. In large metropolitan areas it is often higher.

There are some low cost IVF programs that charge significantly less than average, while others charge $15,000 or more for a complete in vitro cycle without medications.

Do not equate cost with quality when it comes to IVF. Some clinics charge a lot but have low success rates. Be sure to know the IVF live birth success rates at any center you consider.

Some clinics have a low IVF cost and low success rates so that it ends up costing more to have a baby

  • Semen analysis, if one has not been done in the past 12 months – $75 at our center

  • Infectious disease screening blood work (both partners) – costs usually covered by insurance 
  • Female partner is also suggested to do cystic fibrosis carrier testing, a vitamin D level, and thyroid testing with TSH and free T4 (all of these are usually covered by insurance)

Medication Costs for IVF

Costs for IVF medications are not included in our IVF pricing plans. Medication costs can be as low as $3500, but average about $5000 and vary according to the unit price, the dosage and the duration of the ovarian stimulation. Meds can cost up to $7000. Insurance sometimes covers IVF medications.

Full fees vs. cash discounted fees

All in vitro fertilization costs listed on this page reflect “cash discounts” and are paid in advance unless we have a written statement from an insurance company saying that they will pay.

“Cash discounted” IVF costs are for couples without fertility insurance coverage, or those that prefer to pay in advance and submit their own billing to insurance.

Insurance companies do not accept a “package price” for IVF (there is no CPT code for it). Because insurance is billed by individual procedure, the total billed depends on what is done during the IVF cycle.
