IVF, as its website posts it
RMA's official website states that an IVF cycle, defined there as retrieval and transfer, costs approximately $14,750. The page does not specify whether medications, monitoring, anesthesia, laboratory fees, embryo cryopreservation, or PGT are included or excluded. This is an approximate RMA figure rather than a dated, patient-specific fee schedule; the page identifies Basking Ridge, New Jersey as RMA's flagship center. RMA's current Basking Ridge page says exact costs vary by treatment center, services bundled, and insurance coverage, and directs patients to a financial coordinator for individualized pricing.
