Infertility Treatment Cost: What You Should Know

There’s a moment when every couple or individual who wants to start their family with the help of infertility treatments realizes how expensive the process is—and it’s often overwhelming. At Fertility Centers of New England, we strongly believe that price should not prevent any hopeful parents from starting their dream family. Our goal is to help all patients seeking care find options for affording infertility treatment.

However, it’s impossible to ignore the rising costs of healthcare in this country and the enormous out-of-pocket costs that most patients face when they undergo any form of medical treatment. Infertility care is no exception—FertilityIQ reports that many patients incur up to $50,000 in out-of-pocket infertility treatment costs.   

The high out-of-pocket expense is largely due to insurance companies’ widespread lack of coverage. Only 14 states in the U.S. have laws mandating insurers to cover infertility treatment: Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and West Virginia^[1]. 

While some insurers offer partial coverage, the vast majority of infertility patients—71%—have no health insurance coverage for treatment. This puts many couples in the difficult position of deciding whether to take on a large financial burden to achieve their dream of starting a family.

Before deciding to undergo any treatment, patients should explore their options. Depending on the clinic, you can expect different levels of care and pricing. Fertility Centers of New England not only offers the most competitive pricing for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in New England, but we also offer several financial assistance programs that make infertility care more accessible. To help you understand how you can afford treatment, we’ve created this FAQ with some of the most common questions we receive from patients.
