Hello again Health777, Below you will find the results of my research for data, resources and information regarding fertility clinics worldwide. *********** United States ********* The Costs According to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, the average cost of an IVF cycle in the U.S. is $12,400. ?This price will vary depending on where you live, the amount of medications you're required to take, the number of IVF cycles you undergo, and the amount your insurance company will pay toward the procedure. You should thoroughly investigate your insurance company's coverage of IVF and ask for a written statement of your benefits. Although some states have enacted laws requiring insurance companies to cover at least some of the costs of infertility treatment, many states haven't.? ?Also be aware that some carriers will pay for infertility drugs and monitoring, but not for the cost of IVF or other artificial reproductive technology. RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association publishes a booklet called the "Infertility Insurance Advisor," which provides tips on reviewing your insurance benefits contract.? RESOLVE's website is at www.resolve.org. Success Rates ?Success rates for IVF vary depending on a number of factors, including the reason for infertility, where you're having the procedure done, and your age. The CDC compile national statistics for all assisted reproductive technology procedures performed in the U.S. The statistics group together all procedures that constitute assisted reproduction technology (ART), including IVF, GIFT and ZIFT, although IVF is by far the most common.? The most recent report from 2000 found: ?Successful pregnancy was achieved in 30.7% of all cycles. About 69% of the cycles carried out did not produce a pregnancy. Less than 1% of all cycles resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. About 11% of these pregnancies involved multiple fetuses. About 83% of pregnancies resulted in a live birth. About 17% of pregnancies resulted in miscarriage, induced abortion, or a stillbirth.?

Shared Risk® Refund Program for IVF Treatment Boost Success and Limit Costs with this Special IVF Treatment Plan Overview "This Program is an alternative payment option for patients undergoing IVF treatment. Patients that qualify for the Program pay IntegraMed a fixed fee for up to three IVF cycles and three frozen embryo transfers in an effort to overcome infertility. If treatment is not successful, up to 100% of the program fees are refunded." "Our success rates are high. In fact, nearly 75% of the patients who complete the program take a baby home!" "The reality is that most patients will need more than one IVF cycle to be successful. Patients willing to commit to multiple IVF cycles can dramatically increase their ability to bring a baby home. The affordability of multi-cycle treatment, combined with the commitment of those who enroll has contributed to the high success rate of patients within the IntegraMed Shared Risk Refund Program." "The IntegraMed Shared Risk Refund Program maximizes your chances of success with IVF through a 6-cycle treatment package. Participation in this program minimizes your financial risk by fixing the cost of treatment and preserves your financial resources by providing a significant refund should treatment be unsuccessful."

The number of Brits and Americans coming to Malpani Infertility Clinic in Bombay has jumped dramatically in the past three years ?Infertile couples are drawn to India largely because of the lower cost of treatments and lighter regulations. The British Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has outlawed payments to surrogates, but they can be (and usually are) reimbursed for expenses up to $18,000. On the other hand, the Indian Council of Medical Research allows Indian surrogates to claim monetary compensation, as well as expenses?but these usually don?t amount to more than $5,400. The cost of getting pregnant through IVF treatment in Britain is also pricey and so complex that the BBC has based a TV drama, ?The Family Man,? on the adventures of an enigmatic fertility expert. At private clinics, which do 70 percent of all IVF treatment, costs can run to $18,000 a cycle. Indian clinics offer the same treatment for around $7,200?and they throw plane tickets and a hotel stay into the bargain.? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12289078/site/newsweek/ Malpani Infertility Clinic Dr Malpani, Malpani Infertility Clinic.

Request for Answer Clarification by health777-ga on 03 Nov 2006 13:18 PST Bobbie, please include more, in your excellent research, of the following: --More info on Mexico?s fertility centers, (located in Mexico), near border towns such as El Paso and San Diego, (and further in Mexico), as these centers can be reached with a $200. air fare and bus and taxi rides . People need to know the cost of treatments, surrogates, eggs, sperm and the results of their treatment, (successes and failures). This same information needs to be provided for Thailand.

Health777--

If you still would like an answer to this question: 764178

At the time it was posted, I had done quite a bit of preliminary
research, but got caught up in some other things and never got a
chance to complete it.  I would answer the question if you're
interested in posting it again.
