How to Make IUI More Affordable: Cost-Saving Strategies

Many couples facing infertility, LGBTQ+ families, and aspiring single parents turn to intrauterine insemination (IUI) to have children. While this fertility treatment is less invasive and less costly than other types of reproductive technologies, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), it can still cost upwards of $2,500. At BUNDL, we can help you understand the financial aspects of fertility treatment, making IUI more affordable so that you can focus on growing your family.

Insurance Coverage for IUI

Insurance coverage for fertility care varies based on your specific provider and plan, as well as where you live. While some states have regulations that mandate coverage for fertility treatments, the majority do not. Some insurance providers classify IUI as medically unnecessary, which often results in minimal or no coverage. Therefore, it's crucial to contact your insurance provider directly to ask about IUI coverage before starting treatment.

Medicated vs. Unmedicated Cycles

Whether you undergo an unmedicated or medicated IUI cycle can affect overall costs. Some patients need medication to induce ovulation or generate more than one follicle to increase the chance of pregnancy. Other patients ovulate naturally and regularly, so they don’t need additional medication. Medicated IUI cycles, while necessary for some patients, are more costly than unmedicated ones. If you have any medical conditions that impact ovulation, you should plan to spend more on your IUI cycle.

Financing Options and Saving with BUNDL

There are financing options available for IUI treatment, including grants and clinic payment plans, but they may not account for multiple IUI cycles. That’s where BUNDLl comes in. Our BUNDL 1+1 Package is specifically designed for individuals seeking IUI care. This package includes one round of IUI along with one IVF retrieval with unlimited FETs, helping to minimize financial risk for those who may need to transition to IVF. Additionally, the package features the Success Guard™ Risk Protection, ensuring that if your IUI cycle is successful, your investment in IVF will be refunded.
