Treatment Cancellation Policy

Occasionally treatment cycles are postponed. The information below sets out the most common scenarios and the amount payable in each case:

Frozen embryo replacement, IUI - cancelled at monitoring stage 600
IVF - cancelled at monitoring stage 800
IVF with donated eggs (patients will be charged for drugs used by the donor) - cancelled at monitoring stage 880

 

If a treatment is cancelled post monitoring but before embryo replacement/freeze then a refund will be paid to the patient as follows:

Failed egg recovery - plus HFEA fee 545
Failed fertilization/cleavage 465
Failed frozen embryo thaw - plus HFEA fee 880

PGT-A

The PGT-A fee is refundable in full if a full failed egg recover/fertilisation/cleavage occurs 1310
A partial refund is available if embryos are cultured, but none are biopsied 350

Treatment fees are paid before the treatment starts. Bank transfer, debit and credit cards are accepted methods of payment. Our preferred method is by debit card.

In cases where your health insurance may fund consultations and investigations, you must pay the fees directly to CARE and then claim the cost back from your insurer. We are unable to negotiate claims directly with health insurers.

CARE reserves the right to amend prices. If you have a consultation with Care and agree to a recommended course of treatment, we will provide you with a fully costed treatment plan and an invoice that sets out the cost of the medications we recommend. Once the treatment and medication invoices are paid, we will provide treatment for the agreed price, which will not change unless we give you six months' notice. If we implement price changes before you have paid your invoices for treatment then we will provide you with an updated costed treatment plan and invoices so that we can expressly agree the cost of treatment with you before you enter into a contract with Care by paying for your treatment and medication.

 

Effective from 7 November 2022.
