What Is the Real Cost of IVF in Maryland?
Since its inception, IVF has risen in popularity and is now the most common and effective fertility treatment. However, this process is not a simple one, involving multiple steps, and as such, it can be expensive, especially when compared to other techniques. In Maryland, the cost of one IVF cycle can range from $11,000 to $17,000, although this may not account for all expenses, nor the need for multiple IVF cycles.
Most aspiring parents are surprised to learn that there’s a high probability they’ll have to undergo multiple IVF cycles before successfully having a child. As per the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, only 26% of fertility patients achieve success on their first attempt. For female patients over the age of 35, the success rates are much lower on the first attempt of IVF.
This can throw patients for a loop, as their financial planning didn’t account for multiple rounds. In addition, with every IVF cycle, you may be responsible for other expenses, including preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and fertility medications.
At Bundl, we understand the struggles you may go through when financing one IVF cycle, only to learn you’ll have to pay for additional rounds. To help remove the uncertainty of budgeting for IVF costs, we’ve developed special packages offering multiple cycles at one lower price. As an added incentive, our discounted plans come with shared-risk protection, enabling you to protect your investment.

Are IVF and Other Fertility Treatments Covered by Insurance in Maryland?
Maryland is one of the few states that have coverage for fertility care written into their insurance code. As per the state’s laws, insurance policies that provide pregnancy-related benefits must cover the cost of three IVF cycles, but only in specific circumstances. Even in Maryland, insurance coverage for fertility care can be complex to understand; you should not assume that your employer and/or insurance provider will provide partial or full coverage and it’s strongly recommended that you discuss your coverage eligibility directly with your provider.

Fertility Financing FAQ
In many cases, intrauterine insemination (IUI), also called artificial insemination, is the first treatment attempted by aspiring parents. A simpler process compared to IVF, it also has much lower costs. In Maryland, a single IUI cycle ranges, on average, from $200 to $1,000, although when fertility medications are incorporated, you may have to pay as much as $500 to $4,000 per cycle. It’s important to realize that IUI success rates are dramatically lower than IVF, with many IUI patients eventually undergoing IVF.
Maryland is one of the few states obligating insurance providers to provide coverage of fertility care services, including IVF. However, potential patients should be aware that in some cases, costs may only be partially covered. Contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage.
While IVF costs more than other fertility treatments, there are different methods available to make it more affordable. With patients’ financial wellness in mind, Bundl helps to reduce costs by providing multi-cycle IVF packages, grouping multiple cycles into one discounted package.
Many aspiring parents may first consider using their savings to pay for fertility treatment. This is only one option, though, as you may prefer to finance your IVF treatment expenses with such measures as loans, grants, credit cards, home equity, and social fundraising.
At Bundl, we firmly believe that you should not have to pay for fertility care if the outcomes are unsuccessful. For this reason, Bundl offers patients a unique feature, Bundl Guard‡, with our 2-Retrieval and 3-Retrieval IVF Packages. With Bundl Guard‡, should you experience failure with IVF treatments, you’ll be refunded 100% of your principal investment.
