IVF Costs - Third Cycle Free

At Reproductive Partners Medical Group, we believe in success. Our expert physicians and staff have well over twenty years of experience and are dedicated to using our knowledge and expertise to maximize your chances to achieve your dream of having a baby.

Our financial program, called the SUCCESS PROGRAM is based on the philosophy that couples capable of getting pregnant with IVF usually do so within the first three cycles.

The Reproductive Partners SUCCESS PROGRAM is really very simple. If you pay our regular standard Global Rate for each of two complete IVF cycles at Reproductive Partners, transfer all embryos from those cycles, including frozen embryos, without achieving a viable12 week pregnancy your third IVF cycle at Reproductive Partners will be provided free for the same basic IVF procedures as in the first two cycles. Patients who have insurance coverage for IVF are not eligible.

There will be no age limits, no higher up-front fees as in money-back guarantee programs, no pre-payment for the second cycle until the first is completed, no mandatory procedures like hysteroscopy or IVIG injections and no arbitrary cancellations. If we determine that you are a candidate for and complete at least two cycles of IVF you may participate in the program. We expect our patients to succeed, and when success does not come quickly, we will go the extra mile for you.
