In cases where your health insurance may fund consultations and investigations, you must pay the fees directly to Care Fertility and then claim the cost back from your insurer. We are unable to negotiate claims directly with health insurers.
Care Fertility reserves the right to amend prices. If you have a consultation with Care Fertility and agree to a recommended course of treatment, we will provide you with a fully costed treatment plan and an invoice that sets out the cost of the medications we recommend. Once the treatment and medication invoices are paid, we will provide treatment for the agreed price, which will not change unless we give you six months' notice. If we implement price changes before you have paid your invoices for treatment then we will provide you with an updated costed treatment plan and invoices so that we can expressly agree the cost of treatment with you before you enter into a contract with Care Fertility by paying for your treatment and medication.
