Spring Fertility-San Francisco
IVF, as its website posts it
Spring Fertility publishes a current cash-pay estimate of $18,875 for one IVF cycle with conventional insemination at its California clinics, applicable to the San Francisco location. The cycle amount lists anesthesia, embryo transfer, Zymot, and saline sonogram as included; PGT is listed as not applicable/not included. Fertility medications are separate and estimated at $3,000–$5,000, so they are excluded from the base price. Spring shows an estimated combined total of $22,875–$24,875 when medications are added. These are estimates rather than final bills; insurance coverage varies by employer plan, and Spring provides a personalized cost breakdown after consultation and confirmation of the treatment plan. The published amount is for conventional insemination; Spring lists IVF with ICSI separately at $23,378 and that price should not be treated as the conventional-IVF price.
