How Much Does IVF Cost in Missouri?

For Missourians exploring fertility treatment, one of the first questions is: How much does IVF cost in Missouri?
The truth is, prices vary significantly from clinic to clinic and depend on what’s included, or not, in the quoted fee.
Between clinic charges, essential add-ons, and common extra services like frozen embryo transfer (FET) or genetic testing (PGT), understanding the real price of IVF in Missouri can feel complicated.
This guide breaks down typical Missouri IVF pricing, hidden add-on costs, and how patients can access affordable IVF options without compromising quality care.
Quick Answer: What Does IVF Cost in Missouri?
A typical IVF cycle in Missouri ranges from $12,000 to $25,000, depending on the clinic and whether key services are bundled or billed separately.
Many Missouri fertility centers advertise lower base prices but then charge extra for medications, ICSI, anesthesia, assisted hatching, embryo freezing, and monitoring.
By comparison, CNY Fertility offers full IVF cycles, including many services billed separately elsewhere, for $7,295 to about $12,000. That makes CNY one of the lowest-cost IVF options for Missouri patients.
Cost Comparison: Missouri Clinics vs. CNY Fertility
| Average Missouri Clinic | CNY Fertility | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per IVF cycle | $12,000–$25,000 | $7,295–$12,000 |
| Medication included? | Usually No (adds $2,000–$7,000) | Discounted medication packages save $2,000–$3,000 |
| ICSI included? | Often billed separately (~$1,500) | Included |
| Assisted Hatching | Add-on fee ($500–$1,500) | Included |
| Embryo Freezing | Add-on fee ($1,000–$2,000 + storage) | Included (first-year storage $600) |
| Fresh Transfer | Usually included | Included |
Why IVF Prices Vary in Missouri
While most Missouri clinics charge $12,000–$25,000 per cycle, the same comprehensive IVF cycle at CNY Fertility costs $7,295–$12,000. What explains the wide difference?
- Clinic pricing structure
- Medication protocol and dosage
- Expensive add-ons like PGT or FET
- Embryo freezing and storage fees
- Donor egg or sperm use
- Insurance coverage
- Clinic location
- Individual treatment needs
Let’s take a closer look at each factor.
1. Clinic Choice
Your choice of fertility clinic has the greatest impact on cost.
Missouri fertility clinics do not follow standardized pricing. Two centers may charge dramatically different rates for nearly identical IVF procedures.
Clinics in St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia often have higher prices due to operating costs and demand.
2. IVF Medications: $2,000–$7,000
Most Missouri clinics do not include medication costs in their base price.
Your medication expenses depend on:
- Dosage and protocol
- Brand vs. generic options
- Pharmacy pricing
CNY Fertility partners directly with pharmacies to secure lower prices, saving Missouri patients $2,000–$3,000 per cycle compared to typical retail costs.
3. Lab Procedures and Common Add-Ons
Many Missouri clinics bill separately for essential laboratory procedures.
| Service | Vermont Average | CNY Fertility | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICSI | ~$1,500 | Included | Standard at CNY |
| Assisted Hatching | ~$500-$1,500 | Included | Standard at CNY |
| Embryo Cryopreservation | ~$1,000-$2,000 | Included | First-year storage ~$600 |
These add-ons often push the real Missouri IVF cost far above the advertised base price. At CNY Fertility, they’re built into the all-inclusive package.
4. Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Cost in Missouri
If embryos are frozen for later use, a separate FET is required.
- Missouri clinics: $4,000–$5,000
- CNY Fertility: around $1,940, including monitoring and transfer
Common reasons for FET:
- Using PGT to screen for genetic abnormalities and/or for gender selection
- “Freeze-all” protocols in which the patient plans on freezing all embryos for future transfer
- Allowing more time for optimizing uterine conditions for implantation
- Planning for future transfers after a previously successful cycle
| Average Missouri Clinic | CNY Fertility | |
|---|---|---|
| FET cost | $4,000–$5,000 | Around $1,940 |
| Monitoring included? | Often extra | Included |
| Embryo storage fees | Additional | First-year storage $600 |
5. PGT Cost in Missouri (Preimplantation Genetic Testing)
PGT screens embryos for genetic or chromosomal abnormalities before transfer.
- Missouri price: $4,000–$5,000 (plus FET cost)
- CNY Fertility: $2,000–$3,000, depending on embryos tested (FET $945 when bundled)
Because PGT requires embryos to be frozen during testing, patients also need an FET — but this is offered at a significantly discounted price at CNY.
| Average Missouri Clinic | CNY Fertility | |
|---|---|---|
| PGT-A total cost | $4,000–$5,000 | $2,000–$3,000 |
| Requires FET? | Yes ($4,000–$5,000) | Yes ($945 when bundled) |
6. Donor Eggs and Donor Sperm
Donor eggs can substantially increase the total IVF price.
- Missouri donor egg IVF: $15,000–$30,000 (in addition to IVF)
- CNY Fertility donor egg package: starts at $9,453 and includes:
- 6 fresh donor eggs
- ICSI
- Assisted Hatching
- Cryopreservation
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
Donor sperm typically costs $400–$2,000 per vial, depending on the bank.
| Average Missouri Clinic | CNY Fertility | |
|---|---|---|
| Donor Egg Cycle | $15,000–$30,000 | $9,453 (in-house package) |
| What’s included? | Eggs only in many cases | 6 fresh eggs + ICSI + AH + Cryo + FET |
| Donor Sperm | $400–$2,000 per vial | $400–$2,000 per vial (depends on bank) |
7. Does Insurance Cover IVF in Missouri?
Missouri does not have a state law requiring insurance companies to cover IVF.
Some large employers voluntarily offer partial fertility benefits, but most patients pay out of pocket.
Check your plan for:
- Coverage for testing or medications
- Fertility diagnostic benefits
- IVF cycle limitations or exclusions
8. Missouri Fertility Clinic Location
Prices are generally higher in large urban centers like St. Louis or Kansas City. Smaller regional clinics may cost slightly less but can vary widely in quality and offerings.
9. Your Treatment Plan
Your specific medical factors, such as age, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, and prior treatment history, determine both cost and success likelihood.
How Many IVF Cycles Do Most People Need?
Research shows that many people need more than one IVF cycle to achieve a live birth.
The average number of cycles required is approximately 2.3.
If a single IVF cycle in Missouri costs $12,000–$25,000, two or more cycles can total $24,000–$50,000.
At CNY Fertility, two full cycles generally cost $14,000–$23,000, depending on medications and add-ons.
Watch Out for Low “Base Price” Advertising
Many Missouri clinics market low IVF starting prices that exclude major services like:
Medications
Anesthesia
Storage fees
