Hewitt Options  - self funded care package 

We understand that not everyone is eligible for fertility treatment on the NHS, and we recognise paying for fertility treatment can be difficult for many people. Not only are people dealing with the emotional challenges fertility treatment can bring, but this may also bring financial worries.

Hewitt Options is a care pathway we offer. The fee schedule may feel more affordable for some people. 

What is Hewitt Options?

If people are not eligible for NHS funded treatment, have already received their NHS treatment entitlement, have maybe not been successful, or simply want to grow their family, this option may provide a more affordable choice to many. 

Hewitt Options is a package of fertility care that is offered on a self-funded basis, a unique concept provided by the NHS. If you choose this option, you will essentially follow the same treatment pathway as NHS patients, seeing the same team of healthcare professionals as an NHS patient would.

The Hewitt Options package is designed for people who may not be eligible for NHS funded treatment:  

  • This may be due to having a higher BMI (>30)
  • You or your partner are a smoker
  • You or your partner has a child from a previous relationship
  • You have moved from overseas and are not entitled to NHS fertility care
  • You do not wish to join an NHS waiting list
  • You want to return to the clinic after unsuccessful NHS treatment and you are no longer entitled to further funded treatment
  • You want to return to the clinic after having a child through previous treatment (therefore no longer eligible for NHS treatment) and wish to grow your family
  • You or your partner are outside of the eligible age range for NHS treatment
  • Same sex couples/relationship 
  • Single people

What are the differences in self funded care and traditional private care?

It is really important that you know the differences so that you can make the right choice. Our Hewitt Options booklet outlines what to expect, see the booklet here.
