IVF Cost at Medicare Thailand

admin — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:28:14 +0000

The same day as I sent my letter requesting the IVF cost, IVF success rate and IVF procedure to Medicare Thailand I received an intermediate reply as shown below. The direct answers to my questions came eleven days later.

The website for Medicare Thailand is here. It is nice to know that you would have a native English person to help you through the process whilst in Thailand and to help with the arrangements. It also sounds as though the doctors are keen to collabourate well with your own local GP and specialists.

I actually work on behalf of one of asia’s leading assisted reproducion clinics. They currently are the number one for PGD screening and are showing amazing success rates.

Now I advise on hotels and assist with the bookings if needed. The flights are left to the patient, as they are so easy to purchase now via the net.

We act as agents for the clinic, I look after all international patients, the cost is identical if you go directly throught the clinic or through us. But with us we are a native English point of call in Thailand. We check you into your hotel and take the patient to the clinic for the first meeting. We also supply a mobile phone free of charge with all needed contact numbers prestored. So the patient can relax knowing there is someone very close by, who they can call on for anything.

I personally go with the patients on the first day, I live on the same street as the clinic.

I am having a doctor send me their current rates and 2008 figures, ie, success and procedures. I will send you everything you need to know and have asked for over the next 2 days.

I also do the same thing for stemcell therapy, maybe you might like to have a read through my other site- www.stemcells21.com

Kind Regards

I have got the answers to all your questions-
The questions I have regarding treatment at your clinic are:

1. What is the current success rate for your clinic? (preferably by age as I know that the success rate will be much lower for somebody of my age)

Pregnancy rate Age:

- more than 38-42 – approx 30%,

- more than 42 years – approx 13%,

- less than 38 years – approx 43%

How many cycles do you perform per year at the clinic? Up to date is about 300 cycles.

2. What is the maximum age that you treat?

No age limited as long as the patient have ovarian reserve however, women older than 43 years old the success rate is significantly decrease

Every case we will be manage base on their conditions.

4. What is your embryo transfer policy? How many embryos will you replace at one time?

Approx USD 3,000 for Ovum pick-up and IVF

You will not be charged for the procedure that you do not undergo.

In generally, it will take 3 weeks from the day of ovarian stimulation to the day of embryo transfer. However, if you have your local physicians who are willing initial your ovarian stimulation before travel to Bangkok our physician will be happy to coral borate with your doctor in order to minimize your staying in Bangkok .

13. How will I know that I am not being under / over stimulated?

You will have your initial assessment of your ovarian stimulation on day 5 of your stimulation then you will be monitoring every other day and the doctor will adjust your medication doses base on your ovarian stimulation responses.

14. If I have a problem whilst in the UK who would I go to? Your specialty doctor

15. Is the clinic registered with any regulatory body? Yes we do have, License to operate a Sanatorium as OBGYN Clinic recognise by Medical Registration Division and the certificate from the royal Thai college of OBGYN

I hope this gives you all the answers needed.

Let me know how you want to move ahead. I have just learned that the UK is going to be only allowing 1 embryo transfer for IVF treatments. This is not good, its is already more expensive for ART treatments in the UK and now they have restricted it to this.

I currently have a couple from Wales over in Bangkok for IVF and PGD screening.
