If you as a couple have an unfulfilled desire to have children, you can apply for a state subsidy for the costs of fertility treatment. You must submit the application together as a couple and before the start of treatment. The subsidy is available up to a maximum of the fourth treatment attempt. Exactly which treatment cycles are subsidized can vary from state to state. You must apply for the subsidy for each treatment attempt individually. Only certain types of treatment are supported:
- In vitro fertilization (IVF)
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
The necessity of the treatment must be certified by a doctor.
