How much did an IUI cost you?

[starryfish]

My current doctor is $2k plus meds and they do back to back IUIs (if you progesterone proves the second day you have not Ovulated yet). 

I am debating switching to a different insurance plan at work that covers 50% of IUIs plus they cover meds. So my cost would be around $1k an IUI. 

I know a family friend on the north side of our city paid <$1k cash price per IUI. 

So....I am wondering what the "average" price is per IUI (FYI, I live in LCOL), and maybe I will switch offices so I can cash flow it there and get started sooner. 

Thanks!

I can't remember how much mine cost, but it was under $1k. That said, all three of my IUIs were Letrozole only, and Letrozole was about $3.00 per cycle.

What all does that cover? Ultrasounds, blood draw etc? After everything, mine were a little over $700, sometimes more if I needed another u/s. I did oral meds so those were cheap. This was close to 5 years ago, though, so I'm not sure how much costs have gone up at my clinic. I'm assuming that the extra cost is for the second IUI, and I don't know if it's worth it.

Oral meds $750 plus meds
Injectable $1500 plus meds

The insurance cost would probably be less than $1k (unless they already told you that), because the insurance rate is lower than the cash rate. My RE estimated $1500 or something for a combo cycle for me (Femara, Menopur, trigger), but H's insurance has 50% insurance for parts of it, and my most expensive combo cycle was $500. Ultrasounds were $75ish, the IUI itself was $75ish, and the Menopur was the pricy part.

ETA:  Femara was free or like $10; otherwise meds were $$ and no coverage

It's very COL and clinic specific. Everything is billed separately at our RE's, but I seem to remember the charge for IUI+sperm wash was around $700. They have a 5% cash discount.

My actual IUI at an office in the city was $650 + 2-3 monitoring appointments at $400 each, + meds. My current practice, in a small town, is $350 for the IUI + 2-3 monitoring appointments at $150 each + meds. It costs me about 1/3 of the price at my small town office vrs my big city office.

$500 for IUI itself + $380 each for monitoring ultrasounds/blood work + meds

[thoseareradishes]

According to the paperwork they game me (I never did IUI with my current clinic), it's between $2100 and $2400 total (including ultrasounds, blood work, the actual IUI, and sperm prep), plus an additional charge for meds. I would say it is a HCOL area.

I think mine were between $500-750. I only ever did oral meds with IUI and my insurance covered 50% of my IUIs, so the $500-750 was what I paid OOP.

[mpc]

$1000 + meds. That includes up to 3 ultrasounds, sperm wash, and the insemination.

ETA: this is all OOP

[shanwalk]

I think, all included, with oral meds... It came to about $750 per cycle.

[whodey]

I want to say my injectable cycles were about $600-750 which included meds (my ins pays 50%)

[ratherbepaddling]

$500 for the IUI, $90 for my trigger and I pay $60 each ultrasound. Only oral meds so far.

[mrsbunny]

They only did one IUI for me during my cycle and I didn't have any ultrasounds done (just did at home OPKs.) So altogether it would have cost a little over $800, but thanks to the hospital discounts I only had to pay a little over $500 out of pocket. Also, my insurance does not cover anything infertility related.

[pixy0stix]

~$500 for meds, $1k even for the procedures. Everything OOP.

My clomid cycles were about $750 all told if I was not on the fancy crinone progesterone. That was a few hundred more, so ~1k. I did crinone some and the capsule progesterone some.

It was about $250 per office visit with sonogram. Insurance counted my monitoring scans but not the IUI itself. We have a high deductible plan so it was all OOP.

My injectable cycle was w/follistim. I think we were around $3k all in but I never added it up. That first injectables cycle led to our daughter.

I had ovidrel triggers, single IUI/sperm prep.

[shauni27]

OOP for everything:

1 ultrasound monitoring, injectible and oral medications and the procedure itself is $1300 each cycle.

[mrsgoontz]

Each of mine cost about $1700 total. $1500 went to all doctors appointments, bloodwork, IUI procedure was included (back to back days). I had to pay out of pocket for clomid ($15) and my trigger shot and progesterone (about $150 total).
