When considering fertility treatment, finances can often feel overwhelming. If you decide to work with us, there are several funding options available to help ease the financial burden. This includes NHS funding referrals and a partnership with Access Fertility to make your journey more manageable.
Understanding Your Funding Choices
Fertility treatment can be a significant investment, so we strive to provide various funding routes to ensure our services are accessible. During your consultation, we’ll outline the costs associated with your specific treatment and help you determine the best funding option for your situation. Keep in mind that costs might rise if additional medications or services are needed, but we’ll keep you informed throughout the process.
Spread Out Your Payments with Access Fertility
We are excited to partner with Access Fertility, allowing patients to spread the cost of their treatment through flexible finance packages, including 0% interest over a year. These packages can cover all or part of your treatment costs, divided into monthly payments. Many of our patients have found these options helpful in managing their finances, reducing stress, and fixing the price of their treatment.
Here are some packages offered through Access Fertility:
- Unlimited Program: This package provides unlimited IVF cycles and embryo transfers for two years at a fixed price. If you don’t have a baby within that time, you’ll receive a full refund. Learn more about it here.
- Multi-Cycle Package: This option allows you to purchase up to two IVF cycles at a discounted rate. It alleviates the pressure of deciding your next steps if your first cycle doesn’t work.
- Refund Package: With this option, you can access up to three IVF cycles and unlimited embryo transfers for a set fee, plus a full refund if the treatment isn’t successful.
You can find more details on the funding options available with Access Fertility and the eligibility requirements on their website.
NHS Funding
You can kick off your fertility journey with private testing at our clinic. However, if you are eligible for NHS funding, you must speak with your GP or consultant for a referral. The eligibility criteria can vary based on your location, age, BMI, smoking habits, and how long you’ve been trying to conceive. For more information on NHS funding, check out our resources.
Bupa Benefits
If you have health insurance through Bupa, you may be able to access our services via the Bupa Fertility Programme. To find out what you’re eligible for, contact your Bupa Account Manager. Don’t forget to get a pre-authorization code from them before booking your consultation with us.
Egg Sharing Opportunities
We also offer an egg sharing scheme for those undergoing IVF. If you have a healthy ovarian reserve, you may choose to donate some of your eggs to patients in need. This can be a fulfilling way to help others while receiving your treatment at a reduced cost. Eligibility for egg sharing depends on various factors, which your consultant can discuss with you.
Support for Armed Forces Families
If you or your partner are in the Armed Forces and need fertility treatment, talk to your military GP. If you qualify for funding, a request should be made to NHS England Armed Forces instead of your Integrated Care Board (ICB).
