In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Options at FIRM

Advanced In Vitro Fertilization and Fertility Treatments in Florida

IVF Program Options include a broad range of programs including Single-3 Cycle, Cryopreserved, Minimal Stimulation and Guaranteed as well as 3-Cycle Banking and Clomid Banking Programs at F.I.R.M.

Single IVF Cycle

This is the original and most common way people utilize IVF.  In it, fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries is used; followed by egg retrieval, egg fertilization, embryo transfer and freezing of any additional remaining embryos not transferred. 

For younger women with a good probability of success and the desire of future frozen embryo use, this is generally the preferred plan.  Anyone may participate in this plan if they wish.  Specialized micro-manipulative embryology services (ICSI & assisted hatching), and future frozen embryo cycles are not included in the cost and are billed separately.

Minimal Stimulation IVF Cycle (MINI STIM ®)

This is essentially the same as traditional single cycle IVF with the exception that a less intense drug regimen is used, resulting in lower quantity egg development.  Because of this, drug costs and monitoring costs are lower than traditional IVF.  Egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer are performed as in any IVF cycle.  However, excess embryos may not be available for freezing given the lower number of eggs produced.  This plan is ideally suited for those women who do not intend to have embryo freezing performed (e.g. only desire one more child, ethically opposed to embryo freezing), or will likely only have a few eggs develop whether they use minimal or high-dose drug stimulation (women with poor ovarian/egg reserve).  However, anyone may participate in this plan if they wish. Specialized micromanipulative embryology services (ICSI & assisted hatching), and future frozen embryo cycles are not included in the cost and are billed separately.  There is no refund associated with this program.

Three Cycle IVF Program

This program allows for up to three fresh IVF cycles, with all micromanipulative embryology services (ICSI & assisted hatching, if necessary), and frozen embryo attempts included within an 18 month time period. Since three IVF cycles are being purchased simultaneously in advance, it is heavily discounted. This program makes sense for a woman with a lower than optimal probability of success with one IVF attempt, and therefore will likely require several IVF attempts in order to obtain the highest success rate. However, anyone may participate in this plan if they wish. There are no refunds, whether pregnancy occurs before three fresh cycles are used, or does not occur after three fresh cycles are completed, associated with this program. All cycles in plan must be completed within 18 months of starting program.

  • THREE CYCLE IVF PLAN COST INDEX (NON INSURANCE) $20,270

    Includes:
    • Fresh IVF cycle monitoring (Up to three total cycles),
    • Fresh IVF retrieval/transfer (Up to three total cycles)
    • Cryopreserved embryo transfer (As necessary until pregnancy occurs)

  • MEDICATIONS (Paid directly to pharmacy) $3000 – 7000 (per cycle)

    Medication need varies between patients given differing factors of age, weight, prior history, and other variables. The estimate listed is for informational purposes.

  • POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL FEES
  • Cryopreservation fee (embryos) $800 (due for cycles 2 & 3)*
  • Sperm retrieval (MESA/TESA) $4,600
  • PGT-A (paid to Igenomix) - Embryo testing $200 (each)
  • PGT-A (paid to Igenomix) - Shipping (paid to Igenomix) $415 (estimate)
  • Embryo biopsy $4,000
  • Embryology lab/thaw $800
  • F.I.R.M. day 13 visit: ultrasound, E2, P4 $431 (each visit)

Payment is due on your first cycle IVF start date. If, for medical reasons (e.g. poor stimulation/prognosis), the patient and physician mutually agree to terminate the Three Cycle IVF Plan prior to initiation of the third fresh IVF cycle, charges will be appropriated based on the Non-Insurance Traditional IVF Fee Schedule. Any remaining credit balance will be applied to subsequent treatment, such as Donor Egg IVF. To participate in this plan, you must not have health insurance coverage for IVF services. All frozen embryos resulting from a fresh cycle need to be used prior to starting a new fresh cycle. If the patient achieves a pregnancy, and successfully passes twenty weeks of gestation prior to completing their third fresh cycle, the plan will be considered completed. The patient has 18 months to complete the plan. If the patient does not utilize all treatments provided by the plan within the 18 month time period, the plan is still considered completed and no monies will be refunded. This plan does not include a refund offer.

All fees subject to change without notice. Please contact Billing to ask if prices have changed prior to your IVF start date.

IVF Guarantee Program

This package allows for up to three fresh IVF cycles, with all micromanipulative embryology services (ICSI & assisted hatching, if necessary), and frozen embryo attempts included within an 18 month time period. Anesthesia charges are not included or refundable and are billed separately per cycle performed. If pregnancy progressing to 20 weeks gestation does not occur after completing all three fresh IVF cycles and associated frozen embryo transfers, then 70% of our fee will be refunded. Please note, not all patients will qualify for this program, and inclusion/exclusion criteria must be met before acceptance into the program. This program works well for those women wanting to know they will have the financial ability to pursue other family building measures such as donor egg or embryo adoption, if they do not become pregnant with through the use of IVF with their own eggs.

  • IVF GUARANTEE (SHARED RISK PROGRAM) COST INDEX $24,720

    Includes:
    • Fresh IVF cycle monitoring (Up to three total cycles)
    • Fresh IVF retrieval/transfer (Up to three total cycles)
    • Cryopreserved embryo transfer (Up to three total cycles)

  • SEPARATE NON-REFUNDABLE CHARGES LISTED BELOW:
  • MEDICATIONS (Paid directly to pharmacy) $3000 – 7000 (per cycle)

    Medication need varies between patients given differing factors of age, weight, prior history, and other variables. The estimate listed is for informational purposes.

  • POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL FEES
  • Cryopreservation fee (embryos) $800 (due for cycles 2 & 3)*
  • Sperm retrieval (MESA/TESA) $4,600

Payment is due on your first cycle IVF start date.  To participate in this plan, you must meet entry qualifications and not have health insurance coverage for IVF services.  If a patient qualifies for the program, they are allowed up to three fresh IVF cycles as well as all cryo IVF cycles related to their fresh IVF cycles for a cost of $24,720.  All frozen embryos resulting from a fresh cycle need to be used prior to starting a new fresh cycle.  If the patient achieves a pregnancy, and successfully passes twenty weeks of gestation prior to completing their third fresh cycle, the plan will be considered completed.  If the couple does not become pregnant and successfully pass twenty weeks of gestation after three fresh IVF transfers, as well as the transfer of all their cryopreserved embryos, they will be refunded 70% of their $24,720 program fee.

If no sperm, inadequate numbers of sperm, or very poor quality sperm are obtained, the couple must be willing to use donor semen.  If the couple is considering epididymal or testicular sperm extraction, the male partner must have normal hormone levels, and possibly genetic testing.  If no sperm or poor quality sperm are obtained upon epididymal or testicular extraction, the couple must be willing to use donor sperm to fertilize the retrieved eggs.  The male evaluation and extraction procedure are not included in the IVF Guarantee Program charge, and will be performed, if necessary, at an additional cost.

If cancellation of the program is necessary for medical reasons, or by mutual agreement of the patient and physician for other reasons, prior to completion of the program, charges will be appropriated based on the Non-Insurance Traditional IVF Fee Schedule.  Any remaining credit balance will be applied to subsequent treatment, such as Donor Egg IVF. 

IVF GUARANTEE (SHARED RISK PROGRAM) INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA

Three Cycle Banking Program

This package includes three fresh IVF cycles, in which any resulting blastocyst(s) are cryopreserved. If pre-embryo genetic testing is desire biopsy will be performed prior to cryopreservation. This program is discounted and there are no refunds, guarantees of obtaining a chromosomally normal embryo, or ongoing pregnancy, with this program. This program is felt to be best suited for women of advanced reproductive age whose per cycle IVF success rates are expected to be low, and who wish to maximize their embryo transfer success rate by identifying those embryos most likely to initiate a pregnancy prior to embryo transfer. 

  • THREE CYCLE IVF BANKING PLAN COST INDEX (NON INSURANCE) $39,670

    Includes:
    • Fresh IVF cycle monitoring (Three total cycles):
    • Fresh IVF retrievals (three total cycles):
    • In-house PGS/NGS (up to 16 embryos):
    • Cryopreserved embryo transfer (one frozen embryo transfer cycle)

  • MEDICATIONS (Paid directly to pharmacy) $3000 – 7000 (per cycle)

    Medication need varies between patients given differing factors of age, weight, prior history, and other variables. The estimate listed is for informational purposes.

  • POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL FEES
  • Annual cryopreservation storage fee $ 800 (if necessary, beginning 12 months after the last IVF retrieval)*
  • Sperm retrieval (MESA/TESA) $4,600
  • PGT-A (PGS) testing of each additional blastocyst over the 16 included $200
  • Subsequent cryopreserved (frozen) embryo transfer cycle $4481 - $5774

After each IVF retrieval, the resulting blastocyst embryos will be biopsied and screened for normal (euploid) chromosome make-up. (Please see separate PGT-A consent for complete details).  This package is ideally suited for those individuals who wish to bank embryos over the course of several IVF cycles in hopes of maximizing their ability to obtain a chromosomally normal (euploid) embryo for transfer. If the number of blastocysts available for biopsy exceeds 16 during the course of the plan, PGT-A will be performed at an additional cost of $200 for each additional embryo (if desired). This plan does not include a guarantee of obtaining a chromosomally normal embryo, ongoing pregnancy, or a refund offer. If after completion of the plan, additional euploid embryos are available, they may be used at customary cryopreserved embryo cycle fees at the time of use. Payment is due on your first cycle IVF start date. To participate in this plan, you must not have health insurance coverage for IVF services. All cycles in plan must be completed within 18 months of starting program. Embryo storage will be billed based on first cycle cryopreservation date.

All fees subject to change without notice. Please contact Billing to ask if prices have changed prior to your IVF start date.

Clomid Banking IVF program

This package includes three clomid IVF cycles in which any resulting blastocysts are cryopreserved. It is intended for very low response patients who would not get more than 1-3 eggs with high dose gonadotropin therapy. The idea behind the program is to potentially be able to transfer 1-3 blastocyst embryos to an individual with very low ovarian reserve at the same cost as a single IVF high dose gonadotropin cycle.. If pre-embryo genetic testing is desired, biopsy will be performed prior to cryopreservation. Pre-embryo genetic testing is an added cost. This program is discounted and there are no refunds, guarantees of obtaining a euploid or high quality embryo or ongoing pregnancy. This program is intended for women with very low ovarian reserve who still wish to try and initiate pregnancy with their own eggs.

  • CLOMID BANKING IVF PROGRAM COST INDEX (NON-INSURANCE) $20,220

    Includes:
    • Cycle monitoring
    • Retrievals (three total cycles)
