Funding
If you are receiving NHS treatment, there is no charge for your treatment. NHS prescription charges will apply for medications. NHS funding depends on your ICB's eligibility criteria, which is discussed during your initial consultation. Please note that some add-ons are not funded by the NHS, and if you opt to have these you may be required to self-fund them.
We currently fund services in two ways:
NHS Funded
NHS funding is managed by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). However, not all ICBs fund fertility treatment, and those that do have specific eligibility criteria. You can speak to your GP to find out if you are eligible for treatment. Homerton Fertility Centre comes under the North East London ICB.
You must fall within our catchment area to be able to have NHS treatment with us. You can also review the eligibility criteria on the following pages as a guide, but please note that these criteria may change without notice, depending on your ICB’s funding availability.
Please see the North East London ICB fertility policy for full details.
Self-funded
Self-funding patients receive the same services as NHS-funded patients but choose to fund their own treatment if they do not meet the eligibility criteria for NHS-funded treatment or prefer not to wait for NHS funding to become available.
Self-funding patients are seen in NHS clinics by the doctors and nurses on duty at the time of their appointment. If you choose to self-fund, you will still need a referral from either your GP or a hospital to be seen.
Homerton Fertility Centre offer self-funded treatments, but we do not offer private treatments.
You can view our most up-to-date self-funded treatment price list.
Treatment prices include HFEA fees but do not include the cost of medications. Please note that prices may change without prior notice.
Overseas clients
If you were not born in the United Kingdom, we may have to refer you to the overseas department to check if you are eligible for NHS funded treatment/assisted conception treatment. Treatment can only be offered on a self-funded basis until we have confirmation of your eligibility (if applicable)
