Fertility Cost FAQ

Does insurance cover fertility treatments?

The answer to this question isn’t a simple yes or no. Some insurance plans provide significant coverage for fertility care, while others don’t provide any at all. You’ll have to speak to your insurance company directly to determine what your plan covers. Our financial navigators can help guide you through this process and review additional financing options.

What if I’m not covered?

UCSF Center for Reproductive Health will extend the cash-pay discount to any service not covered by insurance. Please note that the cash-pay discount cannot be applied to any copay, coinsurance, or deductible amount designated by your insurance carrier, but only to services denied as “non-covered.”

Are financing options available?

We offer various financial options to support your fertility journey. We partner with Future Family, a leading fertility financing platform, offering access to various lenders to secure the best options for you. We also work with ARC Fertility, an organization that provides financing for fertility treatments, as well as cycle packages for patients undergoing both IVF and fertility preservation cycles.

Future Family Plans:

  • IVF Plan: Starting at $300–$475/month for 60 months, based on credit and clinic costs.
  • Egg Freezing Plan: Starting at $150/month for 60 months, with similar terms.

    Both plans cover procedures, lab work, medications, storage, and more.
What do I need to know before contacting my insurance provider or employer?

You’ll need the following information:

  • Name of the insured person
  • Insurance plan name
  • Employee/Patient ID number or SSN 
  • Group number
  • Employer name 

Fertility fees and costs depend on your treatment, the extent of that treatment, and your insurance coverage. Insurance coverage for fertility care ranges from non-existent to comprehensive, and understanding your options can make a significant difference when navigating your treatment options.

At the UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, we strive to make the financial process as stress-free as possible. Answers to some commonly asked questions are below. For additional information, prospective patients can schedule a complimentary consultation with our expert financial navigators.

How much does IVF cost?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) costs can vary depending on how many cycles it takes to get pregnant, as well as insurance coverage. Because this can differ from person to person, we can’t give an exact price. However, our estimated cash-pay cost for IVF is $20,900 – $28,900. This is a high-level estimate, so please speak with one of our financial navigators to get transparent pricing information based on your specific needs.
