Fertility treatments for intended parents

You deserve the best possible care and a transparent look at associated costs throughout your fertility journey. Pacific Fertility Center Los Angeles has been at the vanguard of defining standards of transparency and care, leading the way toward cost containment and inclusivity.

Infertility is challenging. Your financial options don’t have to be.

At PFCLA, we understand that insurance benefits and financial options can be difficult. Confusion and uncertainty about finances and other unknowns of your fertility journey can often prevent you from moving forward with fertility treatments. You’ll be guided closely throughout the financial and insurance process with your financial coordinator to ensure a seamless path toward parenthood.

If you're a US resident, we offer financing with approval granted for qualified applications within 24 business hours. If you have received pricing from another clinic, please feel free to share with us and we can provide a compare and contrast of the costs so you fully understand all your options.

Pre-cycle lab work

Before you begin any treatment cycle, you may need certain tests to determine the cause of your infertility. You’ll receive a superbill before services, so you can discuss the possibility of coverage with your insurance carrier. 

Payment is due in full at the time of your service. PFCLA works with most PPO insurance companies, and we bill them for these services whenever possible.

Fertility medications

When fertility medications are not included in your PFCLA package, you can purchase them at your pharmacy of choice. Many medications used in treatment can only be purchased at specialty fertility pharmacies.

IVF cycle fees (all PFCLA program plans)

Cycle fees are due in full before you, your surrogate or donor start fertility medications. After you consult with your physician and decide on a treatment plan, PFCLA’s financial coordination team will send you an invoice. Once payment is received, you will be connected to your coordination concierge to start your fertility journey.

Outside lab charges and shipping costs

Not all PFCLA plans include lab tests, and some of the required lab tests will refer you to an outside laboratory for processing. The outside laboratory will either bill your insurance on your behalf and send any applicable balance bills back to you, whereas other laboratories require you to accompany the specimen with payment.

While PFCLA does not charge for collecting these specimens, we do incur Federal Express expenses related to shipping. You will be responsible for paying packaging and shipping costs.
