Before starting any kind of fertility treatment, there are a range of requirements that must be met to safely and securely begin. While it’s typically easiest to do them at Life IVF, some patients may have tests completed elsewhere or through their insurance.
FDA-required blood panels to test both partners for certain infectious diseases and guide treatment:
Female: $750 | Male: $550
Pre-IVF estimate of sperm concentration and quality and to ensure viability for fertilization
$175
Test for HPV, pre-cancerous cells, and cervical cancer that would affect treatment
$175
Patients can use their PPO insurance for pre-IVF testing at LIC. Alternatively, these tests can also be performed elsewhere; however, they often have long wait times (1-3 months).
These services are strongly recommended to be done together at Life IVF Center to save you time and frustration. Doing them all together with us is a discounted package price.
These are additional items to complete prior to IVF Treatment depending on patient concerns, previous medical history, and individual / family risk factors

These tests are also important but may be performed later – if doing, they must be completed before the Embryo Transfer cycle but may be done after Egg Retrieval; however, many do them earlier for convenience
SIS uses ultrasound and fluid to evaluate the uterine cavity and its condition for patients hoping to carry a pregnancy; an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) is also an acceptable alternative if performed elsewhere
