IVF abroad: what clinics charge, country by country
What IVF clinics in the countries US patients travel to post on their own websites, converted to US dollars, with what each price covers, beside what the same cycle costs at home.
We read the websites of 136 IVF clinics in 10 countries US patients travel to (on Oct 9, 2026); 71 post prices of their own. A basic own-egg IVF cycle is posted at, in US dollars: Barbados about $6,650 (1 clinic); Canada about $6,240 to $10,270 (21 clinics); Colombia about $7,600 to $8,270 (4 clinics); Costa Rica about $4,330 to $4,500 (2 clinics); Czech Republic about $2,800 to $3,630 (9 clinics); Dominican Republic about $6,000 to $7,500 (1 clinic); Greece about $3,800 to $4,320 (4 clinics); Mexico about $3,610 to $9,000 (11 clinics); Portugal about $4,590 to $6,300 (10 clinics); Spain about $5,370 to $7,190 (7 clinics). Every one of these posted prices is below a US clinic's base IVF fee, which typically runs $12,000 to $15,000 ($25,000 to $32,000 for a cycle all in). Read each price's terms: many leave out the medications, ICSI or embryo freezing, and none includes travel.

What the American Society for Reproductive Medicine says about IVF abroad
From its Ethics Committee opinion on cross-border reproductive care (2022).
- The lower price is a real benefit: the American Society for Reproductive Medicine notes that patients "benefit from the lower cost of care" abroad, and that lower costs may let them afford more cycles.
- Treatment abroad has "a higher rate of multiple pregnancies", and patients who travel to get around limits on how many embryos are transferred "are at increased risk for multiple pregnancies", a risk ASRM says should be disclosed to every patient.
- With no international quality rules, patients "are disadvantaged in their ability to discover and assess the standard of care" in a foreign clinic, so ask for outcomes the clinic reports to a national registry.
- "The lack or absence of medical records can pose significant challenges for treating physicians" at home, so bring back every record of your treatment.
- If something goes wrong, "access to legal recourse may be exceedingly difficult", and ASRM says patients "should seek advice from qualified legal experts" before treatment abroad.
