The lowest headline package is not always the lowest total journey cost. A useful comparison separates predictable items, case-dependent items and costs that sit outside the hospital quotation.
Medical quotation
Ask the clinic to itemise consultations, monitoring, retrieval, anaesthesia, IVF or ICSI, culture, biopsy, testing, freezing, storage and transfer. Medication is often separate or estimated.
- Consultations and monitoring
- Medication
- Retrieval and anaesthesia
- IVF/ICSI and culture
- Biopsy and PGT laboratory fee
- Freezing, storage and transfer
Travel and coordination
Budget for flexible flights, accommodation buffers, local transport, translation where needed, insurance and changes caused by clinical timing.
Comparison rule
Send the same case summary to each provider, request the same level of detail and mark every assumption. Do not compare a preliminary marketing package with a doctor-reviewed written proposal.
