Going through IVF cycle now. Every ultrasound session costs about $800-$900 each. My firm insurance covers like $90. I need to pay the rest out of pocket. Does this sound normal? Thank you!

Ugh. Just so you know, portable ultrasound machines for veterinary use cost around $200 😅
(Of course, those fees probably also include interpretation by your care team, but still...)

Go for high deductible plan. Once you meet your out of pocket max then all should be covered

Typically the Big4/ Accenture companies have a lifetime IVF coverage that’s between $15-25k ( it may cover meds and procedures or one or the other). Read the small print re:yours however it doesn’t sound like you get any coverage for the IVF. See if you need to submit / sign some additional docs to unlock these benefits

My ultrasounds are $400 each. It’s brutal. There have been cycles where I’ve had 4 ultrasounds

All you nice folks, I can use some help on insurance matter too. I learnt today, similar to OP, that each ultra sound is going to be 800 ish. I have United Health Care high deductible plan. My firm says they give 30K life time towards fertility but I don’t understand how that works if I have to pay such high out of pocket until I meet deductibles. Any advice would be appreciated.
