Why a Structured Comparison Matters
Choosing a fertility clinic for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a major decision. Bangkok offers several well-regarded clinics, but each has different strengths in laboratory standards, doctor expertise, and pricing models. A systematic checklist helps you compare options without relying on marketing claims. This guide provides a framework to evaluate clinics based on factors that matter most for PGT success.
Your PGT Clinic Comparison Checklist
1. Laboratory Accreditation and Quality Standards
PGT depends on a high-quality embryology lab. Ask each clinic about its accreditations. Common international certifications include JCI (Joint Commission International), ISO 9001, RTAC (Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee), CAP (College of American Pathologists), and UK NEQAS. These indicate that the lab meets rigorous standards for equipment, procedures, and quality control. For example, Deep & Harmonicare IVF Center (DHC) holds JCI, ISO 9001, RTAC, CAP, and UK NEQAS certifications. Jetanin Hospital states it achieved JCI and RTAC accreditation. Prime Fertility Clinic describes JCI Ambulatory Care accreditation. Always verify current certificates directly with the clinic.
2. PGT Services and Genetic Testing Options
Not all clinics offer the same PGT methods. Confirm which types of PGT are available: PGT-A (aneuploidy screening), PGT-M (monogenic disorders), and PGT-SR (structural rearrangements). Ask whether the clinic performs biopsies on day-5 or day-6 blastocysts, and whether the testing is done in-house or sent to an external genetics lab. MedPark IVF Fertility and Genetics Center, for instance, lists PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR. Bangkok Hospital Fertility Center offers PGT-A. Superior A.R.T. Thailand emphasizes IVF, ICSI, and PGT pathways. Request written details on the biopsy method, turnaround time, and which genetic conditions can be tested.
3. Doctor Experience and Team Expertise
The reproductive endocrinologist and embryologist team directly affect your care. Ask about the lead doctor’s training, years of experience, and number of PGT cycles performed. Some clinics name specific doctors in their profiles: Bumrungrad International Hospital lists Dr. Phattaraphum Phophong with training in reproductive medicine and prenatal genetics; Gift Fertility Clinic names Dr. Waranya Sirithanasarn with 13 years of experience; Intrarat Hospital names Dr. Orasa Teerakul with 31 years of experience; PMG Hospital names Dr. Ronnapop Kongpia; Prime Fertility Clinic names Dr. Poonkiat Punyamitr with 19 years of experience. However, the doctor you consult may not be the one performing procedures, so confirm who will handle your cycle. Also ask about the embryology team’s qualifications, such as ESHRE certification (as noted by MedPark).
4. Language Support and International Patient Services
Clear communication is essential. Ask whether the clinic provides English-speaking coordinators, translators, and written materials in your language. Some clinics, like DHC, cater to international patients and may offer multilingual support. Inquire about the availability of a dedicated patient coordinator who can help with appointment scheduling, test results, and questions throughout your cycle. Also ask about remote consultation options before you travel.
5. Package Transparency and Pricing
PGT costs can vary significantly. Request a detailed written quotation that breaks down all fees: consultation, monitoring, egg retrieval, ICSI, embryo culture, biopsy, genetic testing, embryo freezing, storage, and embryo transfer. Ask what is not included, such as medications, additional PGT cycles, or shipping of embryos. Some clinics publish reference prices: Bangkok Hospital Fertility Center lists a fly-in package at THB 335,000 for stimulation through transfer, and THB 456,000 with PGT and freezing for two embryos (valid to 31 December 2026). MedPark IVF lists an IVF/ICSI package at THB 280,000 (validity and inclusions require confirmation). DHC’s June 2026 reference price for a basic single-cycle medical package is THB 490,000, with final costs varying by medication, testing, storage, procedures, and travel. Always confirm whether the package covers multiple cycles or includes a refund policy if the cycle is cancelled.
6. Success Rates and Outcome Reporting
Success rates are often quoted but can be misleading. Ask for age-specific live birth rates per embryo transfer, not just per cycle started. Inquire whether the clinic reports outcomes for PGT-tested embryos separately. Be cautious of averages: DHC’s 2026 hospital profile reports a 78% average embryo-transfer success rate for 2025 (approximately 80%), but this is not an individual prediction or guarantee. No clinic can guarantee a pregnancy or live birth. Request the clinic’s most recent annual report or registry data if available.
7. Technology and Laboratory Equipment
Advanced technology may improve embryo selection and culture conditions. Ask about incubators (e.g., time-lapse systems like EmbryoScope or Geri), witness systems to prevent mix-ups (e.g., IVF Witness), and techniques like IMSI or MACS for sperm selection. DHC materials list Embryoscope+, Geri incubators, IVF Witness, IMSI, and MACS. Jetanin mentions EmbryoScope. MedPark describes time-lapse incubation and AI-assisted embryo assessment. However, technology alone does not guarantee success; it should be part of a comprehensive lab program.
8. Location and Accessibility
Consider the clinic’s location within Bangkok, especially if you plan to stay nearby. DHC is located at 2483 Phetchaburi Rd, Khwaeng Bang Kapi, Khet Huai Khwang, Bangkok. Bangkok Hospital Fertility Center is on the 5th Floor of D Building at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters. Jetanin Hospital is in central Bangkok. MedPark IVF is in Khlong Toei. Superior A.R.T. is in Ratchathewi. Proximity to your accommodation and public transport can reduce stress during frequent monitoring visits.
