Funding & payment issues

Funding & payment issues

  • NHS treatment

    When it comes to paying for fertility treatment in the UK, you may be eligible for funding from the NHS, or you can pay for your own treatment, i.e. be a private patient.

  • Private treatment

    If you are unable to access NHS funding for your fertility treatment or are planning to pay for your own, you have the option of approaching private fertility clinics.

  • HFEA fees

    The HFEA does not charge individual patients for fertility treatment. Clinics, both NHS and private, pay a fee to the HFEA towards the costs of being regulated and inspected.
