[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone been able to get a break down or itemized list of prices for injectable IVF meds from Aetna Specialty Pharmacy?  I have federal aetna hmo plan which covers 50% injectable meds for IVF but from what I read about Aetna and how they double their prices, I am wondering if it would be cheaper to pay out of pocket for the meds from Freedom Pharmacy.[/quote]

I don't have an answer to this question, but both times I did IVF and paid out of pocket through Freedom Pharmacy, it cost about $3500-$4000 total for my medication -- Lupron, Gonal-F, trigger shot, prometrium.  From the prices I've seen in the thread above, it does sounds like Aetna may be nearly doubling their prices on you.  I am a Fed and opted to stick with BCBS despite the lack of IVF coverage because I couldn't get a straight answer out of Aetna even during the open season period about when I'd be eligible for IVF coverage.  I am still paying off the loan I took to do the SG Shared Risk program plus a couple of rounds of meds, but my 2.5 year old was worth it.[/quote]
