Who are they?

Our donors are rigorously screened by us. Donors of the highest personal and educational standards are the only ones eligible to enter our screening processes. Maximal and extensive information is provided on all donors, and you - not the program - make all the final decisions on the donor to be used for your family. Services will be provided promptly and conveniently. For many patients, the time from an initial contact to initiation of their donor egg cycle can be done in one month or less. Intake consultations may be performed at our facilities in New York or by telephone. Donor selection may also be accomplished in person in Manhattan or by donor selection material sent to you. Our vast experience assures outstanding rates of success for donor cycles, including both fresh and subsequent frozen embryo cycles (if pregnancy is not immediately achieved). Confidentiality is absolutely rigorous and never violated under any circumstances. Choosing an egg donor program is a decision with life-long implications. That is why so many sophisticated and informed patients place their trust in our world-famous donor egg program.

Average donor costs from US donors will be about $10,000 to $14,000. You should also budget an additional estimated IVF, medication, medical, legal and travel expenses of about $15,000 depending upon what your IVF Center charges for a total egg donor cycle cost in the $30,000 range. A detailed fee breakdown is available on request.

The first step is to read your health insurance policy. Most insurance companies provide online access to your health benefits as well as a provider lookup for the doctors within their network. Once you've reviewed your policy, you may want to discuss your benefits with your company's health plan administrator (if your insurance is through you or your partner's employer) or you can call the insurance carrier directly and speak with a representative. Going over your infertility insurance benefits with one of these resources will ensure you're clear on the insurance company's clinical definition of "infertile," if you meet their criteria and what your coverage is. Always ask for a written confirmation of your benefits coverage that you can keep for your files. Your fertility practice's financial counselor or insurance specialist will also be an excellent resource in helping you understand your fertility insurance coverage and how you can maximize your benefits. Most fertility centers will contact your insurance carrier and define your financial responsibility before you proceed with treatment. Some fertility centers also provide patients with sample letters you can use to clarify your fertility insurance coverage with your carrier.

Final Advice

Before you begin infertility testing and treatment, take the time to understand your infertility insurance coverage. Identifying who can provide guidance will ensure that you are maximizing your benefits and minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses and keep you on the path towards realizing your dream of having a baby.
