Refunds and cancellation

Imperial Private Healthcare appreciates that there are a number of reasons that a patient may decide not to proceed with their treatment or treatment is discontinued for medical reasons. In these circumstances a full or partial refund may apply depending on the treatments delivered so far. Refunds will be made by bank transfer or by cheque.

If you are unable to, or decide not to go ahead with your treatment please provide us with the original receipt and we will make the appropriate refund of any treatment costs. If you would like to apply for a full refund, please telephone the clinic on 0203 313 4411 and speak to a member of staff.

Further details of the cancellation fees per treatment type are as follows:

IVF, ICSI, egg freezing or egg donation cycle

If your cycle is discontinued for medical reasons before any drugs are taken, we will refund you the cost of the IVF treatment package. We cannot make any refunds for the cost of pre-treatment investigations or the cost of drugs for the treatment cycle.

If an IVF, ICSI, egg freezing or egg donation cycle is discontinued for medical reasons after the drugs have started and before any eggs are collected, there will be a refund of the IVF treatment package cost less the cancellation fee. If no eggs are collected or eggs do not fertilize, then no refund can be made.

If you are having an IVF or ICSI cycle and your embryo transfer is cancelled because of a medical reason, your embryos will be frozen and you will be offered a frozen cycle once you have recovered. You will be asked to pay for freezing your eggs or embryos but will not be expected to pay for a subsequent frozen embryo replacement cycle.

IUI

In the event that insemination does not take place but you have already started the stimulation drugs, a refund will be given less the cancellation fee. We do not refund any costs relating to the pre–treatment procedures or drugs.

If you start an IUI cycle but the cycle is converted to IVF, you will be asked to pay the additional cost which is the difference between the cost of IUI and IVF.

Donor sperm cycle

If your treatment using donor sperm is cancelled for any reason, then a refund will be offered according to the criteria as set out above, depending on the type of cycle. Payment for the donor sperm cannot be refunded.

FET (frozen embryo transfer cycle)

If an FET cycle is cancelled for medical reasons before your embryos are thawed, we will refund the full cost of the treatment package less a cancellation fee. If when the embryos are thawed they fail to thaw successfully, there will be no refund. We are not able to refund the cost of drugs.

Freezing

Once you have paid for freezing of embryos or eggs, if these procedures do not go ahead for any reason, then you will be eligible for a refund of the cost of the procedure.
