What insurers pay this clinic
These are rates insurers have agreed to pay the clinic. They are not your cost and are not part of the prices above.
- CignaIVF case rate: $4,842Sum of rates for IVF services: $1,053 to $8,777
- UnitedHealthcareSum of rates for IVF services: $1,258 to $6,774
A negotiated rate is what the insurer has agreed to pay the clinic for a billed service, not the patient's cost; the patient's share depends on the plan's IVF benefit, deductible and coinsurance. A clinic in the insurer's network file with no IVF billing codes suggests the plan likely excludes IVF.
