IVF Success Program

IVF money back guarantee

An IVF money back guarantee returns part of what you paid if you are unsuccessful. The Sunfish IVF Success Program includes one on its Gold tier, a guaranteed partial refund of up to $15,000 or a discount toward another round¹, on top of one flat fee with all single embryo transfers included for a year.

Sunfish gives you clear pricing, bundled savings, administrative support, and data-driven guidance for IVF - from start to finish.

No hidden fees, no confusion. And if it doesn't work, you'll get a discount to try again or a partial money back guarantee.

What an IVF money back guarantee covers

IVF is expensive, and nobody can tell you at the start how many rounds you will need.

A money back guarantee is a program that returns some of what you paid if you are unsuccessful.

The Sunfish version sits on the Gold tier, which includes exclusive evidence-based resources including videos, articles, and easy-to-follow guides, plus savings on long-term egg and embryo storage and transport, at-home wellness IVs, one-on-one mental health coaching, and more. Sunfish provides each IVF Success Program with a predictive cost forecast, and returns a partial refund of up to $15,000, or a discount to continue treatment, if that forecast proves inaccurate.¹

The refund sits on top of a fixed program price and included embryo transfers. A member's cost is capped before the refund is triggered.

One flat fee covers your treatment cycle, and all single embryo transfers are included for a year. Terms apply.

A place in the program at any age, with any diagnosis, insured or not

Your cost forecast is set after a physical evaluation at an eligible IVF clinic.

Medication and PGT-A genetic testing sit outside the flat fee, and Sunfish names both when it quotes you. Medication comes from Sunfish partner pharmacy with a guaranteed lowest-price match.

Who qualifies for the refund

Sunfish does not turn people away on age, diagnosis, or insurance status.

Eligibility

No screen on age or ovarian reserve

You complete a physical evaluation at your clinic before you enroll, and your doctor still decides whether IVF is right for you. Nothing in that evaluation keeps you out of the program.

Your price

The same package price either way

Your medical profile does not move the standard package price. It shapes the cost forecast Sunfish builds for you, and that forecast sets the refund available on Gold.

Your protection

A guaranteed refund of up to $15,000

If you are unsuccessful, Gold members may receive a guaranteed partial refund of up to $15,000, or a discount toward another round¹. Terms apply.

Sunfish forecasts what reaching a baby is likely to cost you, and prices your program from that forecast.

Getting that forecast right is Sunfish's job, and the financial protection is what stands behind it.

¹ As part of the Sunfish IVF Success Program, Sunfish provides a Custom Financial Plan using Sunfish's proprietary software that calculates the expected financial costs for each family to achieve a Live Birth based on a range of factors. If you fail to achieve a Live Birth within your custom financial plan budget and there are unexpected financial costs that were not accurately predicted by the Financial Planning Tool, our software Warranty (the "Warranty") may entitle you to receive a partial refund of your total treatment package costs depending on the extent of inaccuracy of our software. Additional costs may be incurred outside of the Treatment Package Costs. See our Sunfish IVF Success Program Agreement for conditions and details.

‍

All interested participants in the Sunfish IVF Success Program must complete a required physical evaluation by an eligible IVF Clinic. Our software is limited to certain data and therefore the Sunfish IVF Success Program and Financial Planning Tool is only available to qualified applicants. We are not a medical provider.

Sunfish's IVF Success Program is a great option for anyone who is looking for peace of mind as they pursue IVF. This program can help them reduce their financial stress during their fertility journey.

FAQs

Common questions about IVF money back guarantees.

Do you get your money back if IVF doesn't work?
Part of it, and only on the Gold Program.

Gold members who are unsuccessful may receive a guaranteed partial refund of up to $15,000, or a discount toward another round. Which one you get, and how much, follows your program terms.¹

The Sunfish IVF Success Program Agreement is where that trigger is defined. Read it before you sign.
Is IVF 100% success rate?
No. No clinic and no program can promise a baby.

That gap is the reason money back guarantees exist at all.

IVF often takes more than one attempt, and the second and third attempts are where the unplanned cost lands.

What Sunfish does guarantee is a price, a year of included single embryo transfers, and a partial refund if you are unsuccessful.
How much does an IVF refund program cost?
Sunfish doesn't have a single list price. Each program is built from set, per-clinic line-item pricing based on your treatment journey, then quoted to you individually after a physical evaluation at a partner clinic.

That quote covers the treatment cycle. Medication and PGT-A genetic testing are billed separately, and Sunfish names both at the same time.
What is a shared risk contract for IVF?
It is the contract behind a clinic's refund program.

You buy a defined course of IVF at one price, and the clinic returns an agreed share of it if the course ends without a birth.

Admission is what varies most. Many of these contracts set a minimum ovarian reserve or a maximum age before a clinic will sell you one.

Sunfish sells its program without those screens, in partnership with your clinic rather than as part of it.

Sunfish collaborates with a member's fertility clinic to support their care rather than replace it, and the member and their doctor make every medical decision.
How many rounds of IVF is average for success?
Ask your reproductive endocrinologist. It turns on your age, your diagnosis, and your embryo quality, and Sunfish is not a medical provider.

Financially the number bites hardest on the second and third attempts, where a clinic bills each transfer again.

A Sunfish membership includes all single embryo transfers for up to a year at the price you already paid. A transfer isn't the same as a full round of IVF, so you don't re-price your plan each time one doesn't take.
How much would 3 rounds of IVF cost?
Paid cycle by cycle, three rounds means three retrievals, three sets of transfers, and three separate bills, with medication on top of each one.

Sunfish quotes one figure instead, and a double retrieval package is available at that single price. It forecasts what reaching a baby is likely to cost you, and quotes that one price before treatment begins.

With the Sunfish IVF Success Program, eligible Gold Program patients can receive a guaranteed refund of up to $15,000 if they are unsuccessful.¹
What does the money back guarantee not cover?
Medication and PGT-A genetic testing. Both sit outside the flat fee, and Sunfish names both when it quotes you.

Medication is discounted rather than excluded. It comes from Sunfish partner pharmacy, and members also get discounts on long-term egg and embryo storage.

The refund is tied to how accurate Sunfish's cost prediction turns out to be, not to whether treatment succeeds on its own.

Costs that were never inside the program are not part of it.
Is Sunfish a fertility clinic?
No. Sunfish is a family-building platform, and the IVF itself happens at a partner fertility clinic.

You keep your doctor and your treatment plan.

Sunfish settles treatment billing with the partner clinic directly. Sunfish pairs you with a Planning Partner for the length of the program.

Programs are sold through partner clinics, and availability depends on whether yours is one.
