WHEN AND WHERE TO PAY

If you have a Consultation appointment at either 92 Harley Street or Boston Place Clinic, you will be asked to pay at the time of booking your appointment.

INVESTIGATION TESTS

Hystero-salpingogram X rays are booked at Princess Grace Hospital – please phone 0207-908-2000. You will be asked to pay when booking the investigation. If you have been asked to have an investigation ultrasound scan you will be asked to pay for this when you book the appointment at Boston Place Clinic. All blood tests are taken in the clinic and you should pay for these immediately before you have the tests.

TREATMENTS

Before you start any treatment you will need to have a nurse co-ordination appointment. You may telephone the clinic to make this appointment and you should pay for your treatment in full on the telephone at the same time as making this appointment. You may also attend the clinic to make your co-ordination appointment and payment. If you have had previous treatment at Boston Place you may be offered a telephone or email co-ordination for your subsequent treatment. You will need to pay for the treatment before a co-ordination appointment can be offered, so please either pay in person in the clinic or telephone to pay by debit or credit card. In any event, you need to pay for your treatment before your co-ordination appointment can go ahead.

ADDITIONAL TREATMENTS

If you are planning to have an additional procedure such as Blastocyst Transfer or Freezing of Eggs or Embryos, and your consultant has recommended them, you should pay for these at the same time as your treatment payment. If the decision to have these procedures is not made until after your egg collection, then we ask you to pay as soon as you can prior to the embryo transfer procedure. Payment for donated sperm must be paid at the time of ordering the sperm. Price will depend on which sperm bank is used, type of sperm requested and it’s availability. Patients who are having PGS or PGD will pay the package price for their cycle i.e. IVF with the additional cost for the PGS or the PGD at the same time. An embryologist will explain the tests required and the difference between the development and test fees.

DRUG COSTS

The type and dose of drugs required during a cycle of treatment can vary depending on several factors so it is not possible to give an accurate estimate of cost. During treatment, drug doses can be varied according to individual response which may give rise to the need for additional purchase, or wastage.

ANNUAL STORAGE FOR EMBRYOS, EGGS OR SPERM

Once you have consented to store your frozen embryos, eggs or sperm, you will be asked to pay for continued storage every twelve months. You will receive a letter asking for you to let us know if you want your samples to stay frozen and to agree to pay for a further year of storage. If you decide to dispose of your frozen storage you must complete and sign the form we send you so that it is received before the invoice is due. If we do not hear from you, or receive your payment, we will send you a reminder invoice and if there is still no payment made we will try to contact you again before passing your details to our Debt Collection Company. It is very important therefore that you let us know if your contact details change.

REFUND INFORMATION

Occasionally, patients choose to delay the start of their treatment or decide not to go ahead with treatment at all. If this happens, then we will make a refund less a minimal cancellation fee as long as you have the original payment receipt. Details of the amounts charged for cancellation depend on the stage at which a cycle is cancelled**. Patients that have paid in full for treatment but cancel before attending their pre-treatment coordination appointment, will receive a refund of the full amount paid.

Unfortunately it is sometimes necessary to discontinue treatment for medical reasons, which can be due to poor or excessive response to the treatment drugs, or a co-incidental development of some other condition during the treatment. If you would like to apply for a refund, please speak to one of the reception and administration staff or telephone the clinic on 0207 993 0870 and speak to a member of staff. Refunds will be made by debit or credit card or by cheque if you have paid any other way.

**Please note that we cannot refund the cost of any medication purchased, including the cost of any unused drugs or cancellation of treatment. This is standard for all treatments.

The cancellation fees vary according to the type of treatment and stage at which a cycle is cancelled. More detail is provided below.
