HSG, how much did you pay?

[Thehostess]

Hello ladies,

I'm just wondering how much you paid for your HSG. I live in Brisbane, Australia and have been referred to Queensland Ultra Sound for Women for mine. I am told it will be $500 with a $178 Medicare rebate.

I found some older posts on here saying that it only cost $200-$300 and with the rebate you are only $150 or so out of pocket...

Has anyone had one recently and what did you pay? If you paid less then please tell me where you went because I can't seem to find out where or who else even does them in Brisbane.

Many thanks for any information you have.

Big hugs and baby dust to all

$425 out of pocket. My insurance may not cover it. I'm not sure what it will be if it's covered.

Mine is $800, with insurance it will be $400 out of pocket. I am scheduled next Wednesday and sooo nervous!

$791 out of pocket (that was after the 40% cash discount). kaiser quoted me 2000 because they dont cover fertility

mine was a pita because i have cervical stenosis probably from my leep (though the iui has been no problem). but didnt think it hurt, normal tubes, yay

I was quoted £377 in Scotland so went to Ireland for it at 80 Euros.

Ah crap, you live in the U.S.? I have Kaiser. I have 50% infertility coverage but even $1,000 is expensive for an HSG.

I was already shocked at the total cost for an IUI.

This sucks.

yup in oakland. i pay everything out of pocket. iui is 335. us is 240. hcg 100. femara 83. sperm is 590

Did they say you had to do 4-6 office visits and 4-6 ultrasounds per IUI cycle? That is what they are saying to me. Basically, I added it all up, and it comes out to like $1,000 for one unmedicated IUI cycle. And that is with 50% off

Mine was $500.00 at epic imaging.

I didn't do all those office visits etc. I did 2 us last round (but really only needed one) this round I did one before to make sure I didn't have cysts before starting femara and then I'll have one day 12 to plan the trigger as I dont seem to have luck with the opks. I've heard kaiser can be a bit of a factory. My place is just two docs and you only see the one you are working with. My doc is pretty big on limited management. He actually did a project in fellowship on lowering costs etc to allow all income levels to participate.

Thank you for the info. I will actually be going to a different infertility clinic then Kaiser's because Kaiser doesn't have their own in the area I live in. So they contract with an off-site clinic.

I guess I don't HAVE to have all of those office visits, etc. if I don't want to.

Thanks again for the info and good luck to you.
