New Hope’s separate cost-simulation tool lists potential add-ons such as medications, anesthesia, fresh embryo transfer, genetic testing, and monitoring, but states that its calculations are for simulation purposes only and may not directly reflect an individual treatment plan. The price applies to the clinic’s New York City location; no dated fee schedule, payment eligibility requirement, or expiration date for the $12,000 price is stated on the source page.
