What are the fees and expenses involved in our surrogacy program?
When it comes to the financial investment involved in becoming a parent through surrogacy, our goal is to be as transparent and cost-conscious as possible. These fees do fluctuate somewhat and are offered as general guidance only.
Factors that affect the total cost of surrogacy
The number of cycles needed for the gestational surrogate to become pregnant (with IVF, this can significantly affect the total amount).
The amount of medical costs not covered by insurance. We review the gestational surrogate’s current policy, if she has one, to check for exclusions. If she does not have insurance or her insurance is not adequate, then we provide guidance for obtaining insurance for her. We work with insurance experts for all insurance reviews.
The “compensation” agreed on for the gestational surrogate — starting at $50,000. Read more about the compensation and expenses.
