IUI & IVF Costs — Does Insurance Help?
Dr. Rukkayal Fathima on News7 Tamil Health explains IUI and IVF costs and how health insurance can help.
What the interview covers
- 1:23Some government hospitals in Tamil Nadu now offer IUI and IVF, as more couples face infertility.
- 3:01More health insurance policies, and some employers' staff benefits, now cover fertility treatment.
- 6:36Why fertility care must be accessible and affordable, and why cost depends on the tests and procedures each couple needs.
- 9:33No clinic can promise a result. A hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, treatment for male-factor infertility or more than one cycle may be needed.
- 13:42From follicular monitoring to ICSI, MACS and PGT: when the more advanced lab techniques are used.
- 16:32IVF babies are healthy. IVF is a way of conceiving and the baby's genes come from the parents; the risk of complications rises only slightly, from about 5% to about 7%.
- 18:02Counselling and emotional support through the stress of treatment.
- 22:19For younger women: planning around a career, when egg freezing makes sense, and a healthy lifestyle.
