FAQ
What items are typically included in IVF costs?
Generally, they include treatment medications (ovarian stimulation), egg retrieval surgery, laboratory fertilization and culture, and embryo transfer. Depending on the case, additional items may include intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryo freezing and storage, and preimplantation genetic testing. Each item depends on the individual treatment plan; it is recommended to request a written quote from the facility.
Why do IVF costs vary so much between different facilities?
Differences arise from the type and dosage of medications, whether additional laboratory techniques are used, cryopreservation and testing items, and the number of treatment cycles. Cost differences reflect differences in treatment content, not a ranking of quality.
Does the government provide subsidies for IVF?
The Ministry of Health and Welfare has a subsidy program for infertility (IVF) assisted reproduction technology. The eligibility criteria, subsidy amounts, and number of cycles are determined according to published regulations and must be performed at contracted facilities. For actual eligibility and application procedures, please refer to the announcements of the Health Promotion Administration.
Are the costs fixed?
Most facilities charge on an itemized basis, and the total amount depends on the individual treatment plan and number of cycles, making a single fixed price difficult. It is recommended to obtain an itemized written explanation during consultation for comparison.
