Medication Prices

It’s no secret that infertility treatments and the purchase of fertility medications can be a costly endeavor. With the average medication cycle estimated at nearly $3,000 for cash-paying customers, it’s customary for individuals to research various fertility pharmacies and look for ways to reduce these expenses.

This research is important for two reasons: To give fertility patients a better sense of the investment involved, and to help patients understand the difference between the price of their fertility medications and the value of doing business with a reputable pharmacy that will provide the education and support needed to increase their chance for success.

In conducting this research, you may have noticed that most fertility pharmacies don’t share pricing information online. Although many pharmacies will claim that their prices are the lowest available, the truth is that fertility medication pricing is extremely competitive and, for the most part, pricing from pharmacy to pharmacy and medication only varies by a few dollars. With the average cycle consisting of four to seven medications, the overall opportunity for savings with the cheapest pharmacy might total $100.

Instead of counting every penny or ordering your medications from a number of different pharmacies to save a couple of dollars, we encourage you to consider the value of this journey, as opposed to the cost of the medications in question. When you are investing so much financially and emotionally in your efforts to start a family, is the potential cost savings worth: The possibility that your medications will not arrive on time? The need to manage refills coming from several pharmacies? Or, a lack of education and support when you have questions and concerns?

Finding the right pharmacy

By partnering with a reputable specialty fertility pharmacy whose staff understands – and has the skills and resources to address – your needs, you can enhance your chance for success and reduce the possibility of mistakes or misunderstandings that can negatively impact the outcome of your treatment. This partnership and peace of mind is invaluable, and should be given more weight than solely the cost of your medications.

Here are a few questions to ask your pharmacist so that you can be sure you’re getting the most value from your fertility pharmacy:

• Will my fertility medications come with the resources and support I need to feel comfortable throughout this process?
• Will I have access to a medical professional if I have questions or concerns? If so, when are these experts available to take my call and what process must I go through to get them on the line?
• How can I be sure that my medications will arrive on time? What is the timeframe between requests for refills and when they will arrive?
• Who do I talk to if I have questions about my injectable medications?
• Aside from my medications, what other benefits do I receive from working with your pharmacy?
• Do you participate in discount programs for cash-paying patients?
