Does anyone have recent information about how much IVF costs with MDIPA (Fed plan) at SG? A quick search of the archives seems to indicate it will be around $3500 (not counting meds). Is that about right for 2013? Is that figure for one IVF cycle? If you did all three MDIPA-covered IVF cycles, would the cost be $10,500 plus meds?
TIA! |

| $3200 excluding drugs. Folks here say drugs cost around $300 per cycle. |

| Does anyone know if the MDIPA (Fed plan) covers PGD at Shady Grove? And if not, does anyone know how much it costs out of pocket per cycle? |

| No it doesn't cover it. I think it is around 2500 but I will have to double check that number to be sure. |

| Ok - so I double checked and it says the PGD Biopsy is 1500 (not covered). Then it says PGD lab test billed by actual lab. |

Hi,
I was wondering what you ended up paying for PGD. I was quoted $6400. Did MDIPA cover any of the PGD? Thanks!!! |

| PGD (screening for a particular, known issue) is $1500 like PP said, but there is also PGS, which is more extensive and expensive and must've been what you got the $6400 quote for. Neither is covered by insurance. |

| It's definitely PGD, screening of embryos for a single gene defect, thymine uraciluria. Hmmm.... I'm checking with another company. I know we are the first couple at SG where both partners are carriers. To quote SG "not sure if it can be screened for". Like I said, it's extremely rare. Could it be so expensive for the reason of rarity? |

| I just spoke with another company and they quoted us $4500. They also offered matching a lower price, if we found one. I didn't realize this business was open to negotiation. Very interesting. |

| 22:53 here. Ok, so the $1500 must be for the PGD biopsy, like 08:33 said, but then actual testing costs extra and can vary. I just clearly remembered the $1500 from the cost breakdown I received from SG. |
