Who pays for IVF treatment in the UK?

The National Health Service (NHS) provides IVF treatment free of charge to eligible couples in the United Kingdom. Eligibility criteria for NHS-funded IVF treatment vary by region, but generally include:

* Being under the age of 40 for women

* Having a medical diagnosis of infertility

* Having not conceived after a certain number of tries (usually 2-3)

* Not having any other children (or only having children from a previous relationship)

Some private health insurance plans may also cover IVF treatment, but coverage varies by plan. Additionally, some clinics offer IVF treatment at a reduced cost or on a sliding scale based on income. It's important to research the options available in your area and contact your local NHS clinic or fertility specialist for more information about funding options for IVF treatment.
