Treatment costs

The costs for diagnosing the reasons for restricted fertility are carried by your health insurance provider, provided it is included in your scheme.

The treatment itself is a different matter. The health insurers do not cover all of the treatments. Statutory health insurance providers and most private insurers do not carry the costs of additional services that are designed to optimise a positive outcome.

Cost cover by statutory health insurance providers

The statutory health insurance providers pay for 50% of eight inseminations, i.e. three IVF or ICSI cycles.

Since 1 January 2014, couples with statutory health insurance plans have been asked to make the following co-payments for treatment and medication, in addition to their basic cover:

co-payment toward treatment costs, approx. €110

co-payment toward treatment costs, approx. €800

co-payment toward treatment costs, approx. €950

co-payment, at least €1000

Neither the statutory nor the private health insurance providers are required to cover the costs for
cryo-conservation of semen cells, testicular tissue, pre-nucleus stages or fertilised ovum.

Cost of optimisation procedures/IGeL
As a rule, statutory health insurance providers do not cover the costs of optimisation procedures.

Cost cover by private health insurance providers

On 20 February 2004, the German Medical Council published a recommendation for analogous calculations in reproduction medicine according to the German Scale of Medical Fees (GOÄ, deutsche Gebührenordnung für Ärzte).

Based on this recommendation, insured persons with a private healthcare plan incur the following costs for 6 ovum, not counting medication (depending on the prescription of medication and the number
of follicles):

about €3,569

additional laboratory costs approx. €3,196

stimulation period of 11–13 days daily dosage of 225 units.

Neither the statutory nor the private health insurance providers are required to cover the costs for
cryo-conservation of semen cells, testicular tissue, pre-nucleus stages or fertilised ovum.

Costs of optimisation procedures
If you are covered by a private healthcare plan, we will gladly discuss a possible cost commitment
with you.

All information on cost cover and co-payments refer to German health insurance plans.
