The Cost of IVF treatment
The truth of the matter is that it is very difficult to determine the exact cost. As a rough guide though, IVF treatment in Greece can reach 3000 euro.
The cost though that is quoted at any one IVF center does not include the "fertility drugs" which depending on which protocol is used and which make of drug is recommended. Therefore it is wise to find out approximately how many days of the drug regime are required in your case and the cost of each injection of hormone.
The tests that are required prior to IVF treatment such as semen analysis (which usually is performed once), blood oestradiol test and ultrasound scans (several times are needed) may be included in the initial price.
Also, an extra cost after embryo transfer may be cryopreservation of "spare" embryos.
Differences in IVF treatment may occur according to the method of fertilization: ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) used for the treatment of severe male infertility tends to be more expensive than "Classic IVF".
The National insurances in Greece unfortunately cover only a small part of the treatment but may pay for the cost of the drugs (provided you have been judged illegible for IVF treatment by completing the required tests).
