Affording Egg Donation

While egg donation may be the only option for conception for many couples, most often it is not covered by insurance plans and couples will have to pay out of pocket for treatment. For this reason, Shady Grove Fertility offers a few payment options that may help ease the financial burden, depending on your circumstances. The most popular payment options include:

• New: Shared Donor Program with Shared Risk Option
• Egg Donation 'Shared Risk' 100% Refund Plan
• Bank Loan Program

What is the cost of a donor cycle?
The cost may vary depending on the donor you select. You will find approximate price lists in the Recipient Information pack. Your financial counselor will be available to you to answer cost related questions when you are in the process of selecting a donor.

Will my insurance cover my donor cycle?
Every insurance company will have different benefit plans. Unfortunately, most insurance companies will not cover any claims involving donor egg services. Your financial counselor will help you verify the benefits of your individual policy.

Can the donor submit her testing under her insurance?
We do not submit any claims to an anonymous donor's insurance. If you are working with a "Known" donor, financial arrangements such as this should be made prior to her starting her pre-screening.

Can I participate in Shared Risk 100% Refund Program?
Women using donor eggs may be eligible for participation in the Shared Risk Program. There are no age restrictions when donor eggs are used. Historically, 95% of recipient couples applying for the Shared Risk Program are approved.
