FET cost

[Anonymous]

How much did your FET cost out of pocket? How about medications?

If you have Aetna insurance, SG has a deal with them so it is cheaper by quite a bit. With Aetna is $1850 for an FET at SG. If you have another type of insurance it is nearly 4K. Meds, just delestrogen and progesterone were around $300 for me.

Around $4500 (+meds) with GW with no insurance.

For me, FET is out of pocket but some medications are covered by insurance because they do not stimulate ovaries.
Clinic #1: $4,900 for FET plus $100 for medications
Clinic #2: $4,000 for FET plus $300 for medications

I just did it at SG. Meds were 350 and if we didnt have insurance the cycle would have cost us 4600.

If you had Aetna and paid out of pocket for FET - did you have your labs and monitoring covered by Aetna or pay out of pocket for these too?

In my Aetna plan I get 3 attempts and Aetna counts FETs as attempts, so I'll do them out of pocket if I need them, just trying to figure out if it's just FET fee + meds or you'e on the hook for labs and monitoring too (or else Aetna will count it)?

I don't have Aetna but I know that paying for an FEt covers all labs and monitoring. You are only responsible for medicine. I chose to waive insurance on my FET next month for this exact reason (didn't want to waste an attempt). Hope this helps!

Also, the Aetna negotiated rate is different than Aetna covering it, so it doesn't count as an attempt, it's just a lowered amount you pay Aetna.
