Diagnostic Tests costs before and during IVF

• Quality of the egg including egg count, hormonal test, and ovulation.
• Gynecologic ultrasonography & hormone tests (AMH, FSH, E2).
• Semen analysis test: Sperm quality and all parameters including sperm count, motility, shape, and sperm count or low sperm count are evaluated which is very efficient for the male.

1. Opening of the fallopian test

A uterine X-ray called Hysterosalpingography (HSG), the only non-surgical method can evaluate fallopian tube openness. A blocked fallopian tube can stop sperm from reaching the egg and a fertilized egg can not reach the uterus, both of these are essential for getting pregnant. The cost of HSG ranges from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,500.

2. Ovarian Reserve Testing

Our IVF experts considered, testing a ‘woman’s ovarian reserve’ estimate the quality & quantity of her eggs. Various procedures are there for testing the ovarian reserve including measuring the amount of follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH), as well as estradiol and anti-mullerian hormones (AMH) test, all these procedures are accomplished with blood work. An ultrasound of the ovaries is also done to determine the antral follicle count. The average cost of an Ovarian Reserve Test ranges from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 4,500.

3. Uterine examination

Examination of the uterus is quite essential for IVF treatment as it ensures the organ has smooth functionality and is ready to carry a baby to term. Some examination test includes Hysteroscopy or sonohysterography, a procedure where fluid is injected into the uterus, and then ultrasound gathers images. The average cost of a Uterine examination ranges from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 4,500.

4. Infectious disease screening

For healthy IVF achievement either the sperm donor, egg donor, or the woman about to carry an IVF child must be free from infectious diseases, including HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Syphilis. Such infectious diseases can create complications in IVF pregnancy/or threaten the health of the unborn child. A Pap test may also done on the woman to ensure that there are no abnormal cells on her cervix.

IVF procedure cost

The IVF cost in India is affordable with transparency, IVF procedure is simple and mostly painless, however, it has a stepwise procedure including ovary stimulation, egg retrieval, sperm collection, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo implantation. A pregnancy confirmation test is done after embryo transfer into the uterus (implantation).

All of these steps are mostly performed in the laboratory and each step has its specific requirements such as fertility experts (gynaecologists, endocrinologists, embryologists, etc), tools, medication, special lab, etc. Likewise, each of these steps costs differently. The table below shows the all-inclusive IVF procedure cost:

Additional fertility Services

The fertilityworld IVF centre also serves other fertility services including Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), Egg freezing, frozen embryo transfer (FET), Laser-assisted hatching (LAH), Surgical sperm aspiration, Donor Assistance (egg, sperm, & embryo), Fertilization Assistance, Child delivery assistance, etc.

IUI can achieve parenthood dreams before trying IVF at a minimal cost of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 30,000 depending on the needs of the infertile couple and the complexity of the case.

Couples can freeze their eggs or their embryo at an early reproductive stage and use them in IVF in the future. Eggs can be frozen for up to 15 years at fertilityworld at the cost of Rs. 1.20 lakhs annually.

ICSI is part of the IVF standard procedure where male partner sperm is directly injected into the woman’s egg rather than culturing them in the lab for fertilization. Such an ICSI procedure can bypass all the sperm barriers including weak motility, egg membrane obstructions during travel, and loss of the sperm. ICSI can cost about Rs. 2.20 lakhs inclusive of procedures.

LAH is another technique that helps bolster the embryo’s ability to implant into the uterine lining, though not for every IVF procedure. LAH helps the embryo “hatch” from its “shell” by creating a small crack in the zona pellucida, leading to higher pregnancy rates and birth rates during IVF in some patient’s fertility conditions. The cost of LAH ranges from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000.

Surgical sperm aspirations help to overcome male infertility conditions including obstructive azoospermia, weak motility, low sperm count, and poor sperm morphology. Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA), Percutaneous sperm aspiration (PESA), and Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA) are some of the techniques to retrieve male sperm. Such surgical sperm retrieval costs range from Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000.

The fertilityworld team also helps patients to receive healthy donor eggs and sperm when their reproductive conditions do not respond to alternative fertility treatments.

IVF Insurance Coverage

The popularity of IVF treatments is at a large scale and success rates. However, IVF remains a grey area in terms of insurance policies. Some of the reasons for this include:

• IVF is perceived as a ‘luxury’ or ‘optional’ treatment rather than a necessary medical intervention.
• IVF high costs: The procedure can be expensive, and considering IVF under insurance coverage leads to significant outlay for the companies.
• IVF doesn’t guarantee a pregnancy, making it a riskier proposition for insurers.

Not all procedures related to IVF might be covered by insurance. However, here’s a typical list of what might be:

• Ovulation monitoring
• Egg retrieval
• Insemination and fertilization
• Embryo transfer

Coverage varies widely, and many individuals may need to bear a significant portion of the expenses.

Some forms of Insurance Coverage under IVF: Not all insurance policies cover IVF, some do. Here’s what it covers:

• Full coverage: The policies cover all aspects of the treatment from consultations to the procedure itself.
• Partial coverage: This might cover consultations and some parts of the treatment, but not the actual IVF procedure.
