An analysis of the costs of infertility treatment

Abstract: For 597 couples receiving care at an infertility clinic in Nova Scotia, the average cost of diagnosis and treatment per successful pregnancy is $10,700. This is compared to the costs of alternatives to infertility treatment. Adoption costs generally range from $3,000 to $10,000, and surrogate mother arrangements are much higher (around $20,000). This study demonstrates the feasibility and value of a systematic analysis of the costs of infertility.
