FET costs?
If you've done an FET at your dr's office, can you please tell me how much they charge and what it includes? TIA.  Oh and who your dr is.

Thanks Lauren. 
They quoted me $4500 OOP @ Dr. K's office.  I swear nothing is ever easy...

Re: FET costs?
I know, honey. Nothing going on with the grant? Did you use all the grant money?

Unfortunately now that I have 2 BFNs under my belt (1 FET and 1 fresh IVF cycle) I am pretty sure I'm not eligible for the grant anymore...  Once I have 'official' word, I'll put a call in- I actually called this morning b/c they've now billed my insurance over $18,000 for this cycle- 1 claim alone was over $10,000   Now I've DEFINITELY gone over my $10,000 lifetime max- and am sure I'm going to be paying a pretty penny for THIS cycle.

Re: FET costs?
I have NO idea. Probably b/c they had me going in for monitoring EVERY day- from my 3rd day on stims until my retrieval (yes I do mean EVERY)... Ugh...
ETA: I just got off the phone with the head of billing... useless. She can't tell me anything about anything until the claims are denied (gee- thanks)... because then I get to pay the balance. She kind of missed the fact that I'm asking her if this one claim can possibly be over $10,000...
I am so done...

Make sure you double check all you are being billed for. I got double billed for co pays and had other mix ups. Whenever I get the bill in the mail, I have to call the 800 number up and go over the whole thing. I didn't start doing this until recently. Now I know that I paid money out of pocket months prior when I shouldn't have.
Also, I am so sorry you are going through this.
