"description": "In scope The following services are included in the range of assisted conception procedures: * Follicle Tracking * Hysterosalpingogram * In-vitro fertilisation (IVF), with or without intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), including the use of donated materials as specified in the Sussex Assisted Conception Services for Infertile Patients policy. * Frozen embryo transfers * Intra-uterine insemination using partner sperm (IUI) * Sperm washing * Cryopreservation of eggs, embryos and sperm for fertility preservation * ART using materials cryopreserved for fertility preservation and associated investigations and supply of medications. This specification of service should be read in conjunction with the agreed eligibility criteria. Out of scope The criteria are applicable to patients who require assisted reproductive technologies listed above. They do not apply to: * Investigations for general fertility problems and the primary treatment of conditions found during such investigations * Surgical treatment to restore fertility (for example, laparoscopy for ablation of endometriosis) * Surgical Sperm Retrieval * Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and services for members of the armed forces and some veterans, commissioning of which fall under the remit of NHS England. Other forms of assisted reproductive technologies are not included. Any new treatments or research trial treatments are not included - patients taking part in trials of new treatments will be considered separately and will be within the governance arrangements of that research trial. New developments in assisted reproductive technologies will be dealt with through agreed local processes. The Specialist Fertility Services, the provider, should not request the patient's GP to undertake any fertility tests or blood tests on behalf of private patients. Private patients should be charged for all tests associated with their treatment. NHS patient's may not be asked to supplement their NHS treatment with any additional privately funded elements.",
