What published sources say
We did not find an ASRM, SART or CDC dollar figure for ICSI as a stand-alone add-on, so we do not publish one.
ASRM's Assisted Reproductive Technologies patient booklet warns that a clinic's cost estimate may not include
fees for initial consultation, screening tests, medications, and special procedures such as ICSI and cryopreservationSource: Assisted Reproductive Technologies (patient booklet) (ReproductiveFacts.org (American Society for Reproductive Medicine); booklet revised 2018; read October 22, 2026).
On how common ICSI is, the same booklet says (a 2018 statement; check current data):
In the United States, ICSI is performed in approximately 60% of ART cycles.Source: Assisted Reproductive Technologies (patient booklet) (ReproductiveFacts.org (American Society for Reproductive Medicine); booklet revised 2018; read October 22, 2026).

These are general statements, not quotes for any clinic and not a prediction of what you will pay. Prices vary by clinic, region, protocol and year. Figures are shown as published on the dates above.
What to ask so you can compare quotes
- Is ICSI included in the IVF cycle price, or is it an add-on, and is it charged per cycle or per egg?
- Would the clinic recommend ICSI for my situation, and on what clinical basis?
- Are any related lab or genetic-testing fees billed separately?
- Is the fee refundable or credited if ICSI is not performed?
General questions that apply to every treatment:
- What is included in a written cycle quote — monitoring, retrieval, transfer, anesthesia?
- How are medications billed — included, in-house pharmacy, or outside?
- What happens financially if a cycle is cancelled or does not result in a transfer?
- Are storage, genetic testing, and donor services priced separately?
- Which fees are due before stimulation starts?
Costs and your location
We do not have a sourced state-by-state or city-by-city price dataset, so we do not publish one. What we can show is which clinics are listed near you and where to check your state's insurance rules. Start with the state with the most listings or search the full directory.
Common questions
How much does ICSI cost?
We do not publish a figure. ASRM's patient booklet warns that a clinic's estimate may not include "special procedures such as ICSI and cryopreservation", so ask whether ICSI is in your quote or billed on top.
What is ICSI?
ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is a procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg, done as part of IVF. Whether it is appropriate is a decision for you and your clinician.
How common is ICSI?
ASRM's 2018 patient booklet says ICSI is performed in approximately 60% of ART cycles in the United States. That is a dated national statement, not a prediction for any individual, and usage may have changed.
