Everything You Need to Know About Costco IVF

Costco's in the baby-making business.

Your favorite wholesaler has partnered with fertility network IVI RMA North America and the telehealth platform Sesame. Here's how it works: Members use the Sesame app as the primary care coordinator for consultations and diagnostic testing and, if needed, get referrals to specialists at RMA.

The self-pay program discounts services in both networks, with Sesame fertility membership costing $99 per month, roughly $30 less than non-members. The biggest discounts are found at the pharmacy, with Costco offering up to 80 percent off certain IVF medications.

Redditors who’ve used the service say they've saved hundreds, but insist patients should still shop around using sites like GoodRx to compare costs because using multiple pharmacies can lower your total bill.

There can also be a lot of downtime when it comes to infertility treatments, so $99 per month can quickly add up. But the Costco pharmacy still operates separately from the program, giving members ongoing access to exclusive pricing on fertility meds regardless.
