It depends on the type of therapy chosen. Couples who undergo IVF therapy are usually covered by the Austrian IVF-Fund, which takes over 70% of the costs for an IVF cycle so long as they fulfil certain requirements: there is an age limit (40 years for women, 50 for men) and there has to be a medical necessity for doing IVF (low sperm count, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis or PCO syndrome). Both partners have to be Austrian or EU citizens. For non-EU citizens a residential permit is required. They have to be covered by the Austrian health insurance system or, in exceptional cases, by a private (foreign) health insurance.Patients who are not covered by the Austrian IVF-Fund have to pay fully for their treatment. The same goes for couples who undergo insemination or monitoring cycles.
