Even though I'm still approximately 42 days away from beginning my IVF medications, I've already begun to research the best pricing and purchasing the ones that are covered by my insurance since I have 100% coverage through the rest of the year. I'm super Type A and research and spreadsheets just make me so happy. I'm actually planning on ordering 4 of my medications from overseas to save money. Here is my list of medications with prices:
5 Gonal-f 450 Pens - $1,250.00 (saved approx. $869.50)
10 Menopur vials - $270.00 (saved approx. $559.00) (I am using the generic brand - Merional)
6 Cetrotide boxes - $330.00 (saved approx. $261.30)
I will be ordering these medications from IVFmeds.com soon. In all I will save about $1,689.80!!! That's a lot of money that can go towards the actual IVF cycle!
I will be ordering the Lupron trigger from Cornerstone Pharmacy for $118.00.
I also have to order some more medications from my local pharmacy. All but one (PIO) are covered by my insurance at 100%.
63 Prometrium capsules (the generic for Endometrium progesterone capsules) - $40.00
60 Estradiol capsules - $10.00
10 Doxycycline capsules - $15.00
60 Prednisone capsules - $10.00
1 tube of vaginal antibiotic gel (generic for Cleocin) - $35.00
32 Prograf capsules - $20.00
2 Progesterone In Oil vials - $12.00
My total amount that I plan to spend on IVF medications after insurance coverage is $2,079.00 after shipping. It's still so much money, but I'm thankful that my doctor will allow me to order from overseas.
