What a posted egg freezing price leaves out

Three costs decide what you actually pay, and a posted price may include some, all or none of them.

Medications

The posted prices here do not say whether the stimulation drugs are included. They typically add $2,000 to $6,000 a cycle. See the cash prices of Menopur and Gonal-f.

Storage

1 clinic posts its yearly fee (listed with each price above). Storage typically costs $500 to $1,000 a year, for as long as the eggs stay frozen.

A second cycle

Most people freeze over more than one cycle, especially past 35, because a single retrieval rarely banks enough eggs on its own. Budget for the real chance of a second cycle. How many eggs to freeze at your age.

Insurance

Does insurance cover egg freezing in San Diego, CA?

California

Fertility preservation is a covered basic health service when a covered treatment may cause infertility (all plans except Medi-Cal and self-insured plans).

California's full insurance answer

State fertility preservation laws cover freezing before a medical treatment that may cause infertility, such as chemotherapy or radiation. Elective egg freezing, with no medical trigger, is not covered by those laws and is generally paid out of pocket unless an employer offers it as a fertility benefit. How to check your own plan.
