How much does egg donation cost and how can I pay for it?

Embryology laboratory and medical costs for an egg donation cycle will vary depending on what specifically is needed in your particular case and are usually in the range of $10,000 - $15,000, depending on the fertility program at which the cycle is completed and any insurance benefits you may have. Additional costs that also vary greatly between different clinical programs and agencies, as well as with personal insurance benefits and the source of your egg donor may include but are not limited to: cycle medications, hospital/surgery facility fees, anesthesia, compensation to the donor, agency fees, screening tests/evaluations, legal fees and donor travel costs if the donor does not live in San Jose. The total cost of an egg donation cycle can therefore range from $25,000 to $50,000.

All recipients meet with a financial counselor at FPNC before beginning treatment. A detailed description of all FPNC and embryology laboratory charges relevant to your particular case is reviewed. Estimates are provided for medical expenses incurred outside of FPNC (such as medications). The counselor will help you to determine which parts of your care might be covered by insurance. Your donor agency will help you to estimate other costs of the cycle (such as legal fees, agency charges and compensation to the donor).

Some people wonder if they will be able to afford egg donation. Certainly, the costs are not inconsequential. FPNC is pleased to be part of a new solution for making effective infertility treatment more accessible to more people who want to have a baby. FPNC is a member of Advanced Reproductive Care (ARC), a national network of reproductive medical specialists. FPNC is pleased to offer our patients a unique and convenient program for infertility care, the ARC Fertility Program™. This program includes individualized package pricing, financing and refund guarantee programs to help our patients more easily manage the financial aspects of fertility treatment.

Through The ARC Fertility Program, you can secure very competitive financing for medical services covering any or all aspects of your fertility treatment, from the initial consultation and diagnosis to the assisted reproductive technologies, such as egg donation. For selected treatment plans, you may purchase The ARC Refund Guarantee Plan™, a money back guarantee program on all their treatment options if fertility treatment does not result in a live birth. Learning more about The ARC Fertility Program is easy. Simply contact the ARC toll free at 888-990-2727 or via email at info@ARCfertility.com. You can also visit or call our office for more information about your treatment options and The ARC Fertility Program.
