Drugs can be issued through our homecare service. They will contact you directly
for payment and to arrange delivery to an address of your choice. Alternatively
you can request a private prescription which you can take to a chemist of your
choice.
The type and dose of drugs required during a cycle of treatment can vary
depending on several factors so it is not possible to give an accurate estimate of
cost. During treatment, drug doses can be varied according to individual response
which may give rise to the need for additional purchase or wastage.
Additional medication may be prescribed on an individual basis such as
steroids, clexane, aspirin and high dose folic acid will incur further
cost.Eg. Daily Clexane injections cost £61 for 10 days.
For egg collection, you will require flight stockings which can be purchased from
most pharmacies.
OVERSEAS MANAGEMENT
Patients being co-managed with an overseas clinic are charged per investigation.
This includes patients undergoing treatment overseas and who attend the clinic
for the treatment ultrasound scans and blood tests.

WHEN AND WHERE TO PAY
CONSULTATION AND INVESTIGATION TESTS
You will be asked to pay for each consultation appointment on the day of
attendance.
All blood tests will be taken in the clinic and you will be asked to pay for this
immediately before you have the blood test.
If you have booked an assessment package, the package must be paid in full at
the first visit (usually the AMH blood test appointment)
TREATMENTS
Before you start any treatment you will need to have a nurse pre-treatment
appointment. You will be given an invoice at this appointment. This invoice
should be paid prior to commencing the contraceptive pill. If it is not paid by the
endometrial scratch appointment, then treatment will be abandoned.
ADDITIONAL TREATMENTS
If you are planning to have an additional procedure such as use of Time lapse,
you should pay for these at the same time as your treatment payment. If the
decision to have these procedures is not made until after your egg collection,
then we ask you to pay as soon as you can prior to the embryo transfer
procedure.
If you have embryo freezing, you will be asked to pay for this on the day of the
Embryo transfer.
Payment for donated sperm must be paid at the time of ordering the sperm.
ANNUAL STORAGE FOR EMBRYOS, EGGS OR SPERM
Once you have consented to store your frozen embryos, eggs or sperm, every
twelve months you will be asked to pay for continued storage. You will receive a
letter asking for you to let us know if you want your samples to stay frozen and
to agree to pay for a further year of storage. If you decide to dispose of your
frozen storage you must complete and sign the form we send you so that it is
received before the invoice is due. If we do not hear from you, or receive your
payment we will send you a reminder invoice and if there is still no payment
made we will try to contact you again before passing your details to our Debt
Collection Company. It is very important therefore that you let us know if your
contact details change.

REFUND INFORMATION
Occasionally, patients choose to delay the start of their treatment or decide not
to go ahead with treatment at all. If this happens, then we will make a full
refund of any treatment costs that you paid so long as you have the original
payment receipt. If you would like to apply for a refund, please speak to one of
the reception and administration staff or telephone the clinic on 01245 201 544
and speak to a member of staff.
Unfortunately it is sometimes necessary to discontinue treatment for medical
reasons, which can be due to poor or excessive response to the treatment drugs,
or a co-incidental development of some other condition during the treatment.
Depending on the stage of treatment at cancellation, a partial refund may be
due. Refunds will be made by bank transfer or by cheque. Full details of the
cancellation fees per treatment type are in the table below.
IVF, ICSI, Egg Freezing or Egg Donation cycle
If your cycle is discontinued for medical reasons before any drugs are taken, we
will refund you the cost of the IVF Treatment Package. We cannot make any
refunds for the cost of pre-treatment investigations or the cost of drugs for the
treatment cycle.
If an IVF, ICSI, Egg Freezing or Egg Donation cycle is discontinued for medical
reasons after the drugs have started and before any eggs are collected, there
will be a refund of the IVF Treatment Package cost less the cancellation fee. If
no eggs are collected or eggs do not fertilise, then no refund can be made.
If you are having an IVF, ICSI cycle and your embryo transfer is cancelled
because you are at risk of hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), your embryos will
be frozen and you will be offered a frozen cycle (FER) once you have recovered
from the OHSS. You will not be asked to pay for freezing your eggs or embryos
but will be expected to pay for a subsequent Frozen Embryo Replacement Cycle
(FERC).
IUI
In the event that insemination does not take place but you have already started
the stimulation drugs, a refund will be given less the cancellation fee. We do not
refund any costs relating to the pre-treatment procedures or drugs.
If you start an IUI cycle but the cycle is converted to IVF because of over
response, you will be asked to pay the additional cost
i.e. the difference between the cost of IUI and IVF.

DONOR SPERM CYCLE
If your treatment using donor sperm is cancelled for any reason, then a refund
will be offered according to the criteria as set out above, depending on the type
of cycle. Payment for the donor sperm cannot be refunded.
FER
If an FER cycle is cancelled for medical reasons before your embryos are thawed,
we will refund the full cost of the Treatment Package cost less a cancellation fee.
If when the embryos are thawed they fail to thaw successfully, there will be no
refund. We are not able to refund the cost of drugs.
FREEZING
Once you have paid for freezing of embryos or eggs, if these procedures to not
go ahead for any reason, then you will be eligible for a refund of the cost of the
procedure.

invoice patients for the outstanding amount and will expect payment to be
made within 21 days of the date of the invoice.
