High fertility costs push Americans abroad for IVF treatment

A growing number of Americans are looking abroad, particularly to Greece and Spain, to escape the high cost of fertility treatments in the U.S., where such procedures are often not covered by insurance. The treatments include in vitro fertilization, which involves ovulation stimulation, retrieving eggs, fertilizing them in a lab and transferring the embryos into the uterus. Other less intensive medical therapies also address infertility.
