Costs Not Included
Medications
The cost of medications associated with going through treatment in this program is the sole responsibility of the patient. Medications are purchased by the patient directly through the pharmacy of her choice. The clinic does not apply charges or grant refunds for any costs associated with medications. The medication costs for up to three donated embryo transfer are not included.
Travel
Travel costs and travel arrangements are not part of the California Conceptions program. All travel and lodging costs are the full responsibility of the patient. We are sensitive to the high cost of travel and it’s our goal to help you get pregnant as quickly as possible. Some patients elect to waive the refund option to save on additional travel costs.
Tests and Ultrasounds at Other Facilities
California IVF offers a package price for required laboratory tests and saline contrast ultrasound. Your physician may request additional tests which are not included in the package price, such as serum estradiol or progesterone, or screening for varicella. Ultrasounds that are part of the treatment program are included when performed at our clinic. These ultrasounds include the baseline ultrasound (before medications) and monitoring ultrasound (checking the uterine lining). One obstetrical ultrasound is included when performed at our clinic. Two pregnancy tests are included when performed at California IVF. Any ultrasounds and tests performed at another location will be the patient’s financial responsibility and is not included in the program fee.
Prenatal Care
One obstetrical ultrasound is included at California IVF when a pregnancy occurs. Any ultrasounds and tests performed at another location will be the patient’s financial responsibility and is not included in the program fee. California IVF does not provide obstetrical care or services beyond the initial ultrasound and patients will need to establish prenatal care with their own physician.
