Cost per cycle is typically 3,000,000 to 6,000,000 KRW including medication, against roughly 20,000 USD in the United States. Preimplantation genetic testing is available and priced separately per embryo.

Roughly 3,000,000 to 6,000,000 KRW per cycle including medication for a self-paying international patient. Preimplantation genetic testing and frozen storage are charged separately.
