price of PGS

[Anonymous]

Foundation for Embryonic Competence only charged my credit card $2000 even though I was originally told it would be $3000 for CCS testing 12 embryos. Anybody know why this is?

Another thread suggested this may happen when you don't submit a lot of embryos for testing. This was the case for me, so maybe this is the reason. I'm wondering, though, what happens if you keep sending in embryos. At what point as you get closer to 12 do they decide to go ahead and collect the additional $1000?

Same happened to me. I sent in 3 biopsies and only was charged 2k. I never sent in more (it's up to 12 or until you get a normal, whichever happens first)

I sent in biopsies from 8 embryos and was told it was 2K for up to ten at FEC. There is not a discount if you submit only three but they'll charge you more if you submit 11.

What were your results of the PGS?

I'm the poster with 3- 2/3 were normal.

I am OP. I tested 5 over several cycles. One was "no result," 3 were abnormal, and one was normal.

I have never been told that the 2K only covers you until you get a normal. My normal didn't take. So now I have to pay all over again even though I have only had 5 tested? I don't think it says that in my paperwork.

I'm the poster with 8- four were normal and one was inconclusive and three were abnormal

I had 15 tested and had to pay a "per embryo" rate for anything over 12 embryos.

To respond to 19:47, my understanding is that you are not charged again; I think the fee is for 12 embryos regardless of the number of cycles. I would definitely check with your financial coordinator, though.

I paid $2000 for the testing (up to 12 embryos) plus the clinic charged a $1500 biopsy fee on top of that... Maybe they originally quotes you for the testing fee plus the biopsy fee?

Yup ours was 12 embroyos for 2k. With a 1.5k PGS biopsy fee.
