Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Fee Estimates
Thank you for choosing University Women’s Care Fertility Services. We look forward to helping you build your family.
To assist in your financial planning, we have prepared a fee list for the cost of intrauterine inseminations (IUIs). The
amounts represented in this document are only estimates and are subject to change.
Pricing: Should you elect to receive IUI services, you must pay for these services prior to the insemination, per the
prepayment policy stated in this document. The pricing on the right reflects the cost of the IUI treatment with
ultrasounds plus the cost of additional ultrasounds at the discounted standard rate listed in the monitoring section
below. Most patients with regular cycles require only a single ultrasound per month, but if cycles are irregular or
injectable medications are used for stimulating the ovaries, it is more common to need additional ultrasounds. If you
arrive for your appointment without prepayment, it will be necessary to cancel the treatment and reschedule your
appointment for a later date. We will reschedule once payment has been received.
All IUI treatment packages include:
• Sperm washing and preparation
• Three covered cycles (or until a live birth occurs, whichever is first)
– One IUI plus one ultrasound per cycle . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,000.00

Monitoring: Unless discussed in advance, additional ultrasound scans and lab tests are infrequently needed beyond
those included in the package pricing above. You or your insurance will be charged for each additional ultrasound
and lab test performed according to your specific situation.

Insurance and fertility treatments: At this time, most fertility treatments are not covered by health insurance carriers.
For this reason, we require prepayment for these treatments. We will waive the prepayment requirement and agree
to bill your insurance only if your insurance company provides written confirmation of coverage and appropriate
authorization of services. If you have already initiated care at University Women’s Care Fertility Services and you need
assistance with preauthorization, please contact our Financial Counselor at 601.984.5330.
Some approaches to intrauterine insemination also involve using ovulation predictor kits to identify ovulation. The
cost of this kit will vary depending on where it is purchased. Ovulation predictor kits are not included in the package
prices listed. These package prices do not include costs for separate office visits, diagnostic tests, laboratory tests,

or medications. You and your physician, together, should review the packages above to determine if one of these
treatment plans is right for your specific situation.
Payment may be made with cash, check, cashier’s check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, or American
Express. Due to bank limits on debit and credit transactions and checks, we cannot always accept payment by these
methods unless your bank will approve this large a transaction. Checks, cashier’s checks, and money orders may be
made payable to University Physicians.
Medications: There are a variety of ovulation induction medications available. You and your physician will work
together to determine whether there is a need for any of these medications. The ovulation induction medications
are not part of the package prices. The costs of these drugs will vary from pharmacy to pharmacy and are subject to
change. Because the number of doses per cycle will vary from patient to patient, it is difficult to estimate the cost of
medication per cycle. The typical cost for oral medications is less than $100 per cycle, and the usual cost for injectable
medications is $500 - $2,000 per cycle. These medications are available in the UMMC pharmacy at a cost typically
lower than outside pharmacies.
