IVF Refund Programs

low cost IVF medications


IVF refund programs are offered by many IVF clinics. With an IVF refund program, the patient prepays for a certain number maximum number of IVF cycles. If the patient does not take home a baby after that number of cycles, then the patient receives most, or all, of their money back. Some examples:
