What are the various payment options for IVF?

City Fertility offers the following payment plan options  for IVF cycles:

• Full up-front payment: The full City Fertility fee is paid up-front on or prior to the first day of your cycle commencing. This payment option is available for all cycle types and procedures. However, the first day that an online claim can be submitted to Medicare is on the day of egg collection.
• No up-front payment plan: A flexible payment plan that allows patients to commence their IVF cycle and delay payment until the day that egg collection takes place. Medicare, rebates are usually paid within 3-5 business days.
• Instalment payment plan: Allows you to pay a designated amount on or prior to the first day of commencing your cycle. The balance of your fees is payable on the day of egg collection.
• Accessing superannuation: A payment method available via external provider SuperCare and based on an Australian Government initiative to assist individuals and their families to access their superannuation to cover medical costs. The SuperCare IVF Services Team can facilitate the funding required for various treatments.
• Financial payment plans: A payment method available via MacCredit – a broker that provides credit assistance and payment plan options tailored to suit your needs. They specialise in offering suitable, flexible payment plans for various medical treatments.
• Direct debit/credit payment plan: This payment option allows patients to make a direct debit/credit into City Fertility’s bank account. If patients wish to use this option, full payment would need to be received into City Fertility’s bank account before egg collection. If direct debit/credit were to be made after the commencement of the patient’s cycle a credit card authorisation form would need to be completed prior to or on the day of commencing the cycle as a form of security.  The credit card is not deducted unless payment is not received by the date of egg collection.

Please note these payment options are only available for City Fertility fees and cannot be used to pay for external provider fees such as hospital, anaesthetist, pharmacy and specialist fees.
