Agency Fee:

$5000
(if paid by check, money order, or wire transfer)

Note: Sorry. We do not accept payments by Credit Card.

What needs to be paid and when?

In order to get started:
$1250 retainer fee for agency services
(this amount must be received by our office before you can reserve or hold a donor)

Once a donor is selected this amount must be paid prior to a donor having screening tests done:
-$1250 agency fee
-$400 insurance premium
-$300 legal fee for donor
-If the donor is required to travel for screening, the cost of the travel
-If the donor is required to have a psychological screening done (that is not done by your clinic), the cost of this test will be required
-If the donor is from out-of-town, a credit card or payment arrangement must be made with the Intended Parents and the donor’s local clinic prior to having testing done

Once the donor has successfully passed her screening and prior to the donor starting medication:
-$2500 remaining agency fee
-donors full compensation amount
-If the donor is required to travel for the retrieval, the cost of the travel

**At the completion of the cycle, we will provide a final statement of expenses. If we over estimated the cost of travel, you will be reimbursed for this amount and vice-versa. During the process, we will keep you informed of any amounts that the agency is paying out on your behalf such as the psychological fee and travel expenses.

Explanation of Fees Listed Above:

Agency Fees:
$5000.00 – Egg Donation & Surrogacy Center Administrative Fee, ($1,250.00 to be paid upon signing our retainer agreement, $1250 to be paid prior to donor testing, $2500 to be paid prior to donor starting medication).

Donor Compensation:
Our donors are allowed to set their own donor compensation request and we have no financial incentive or benefit from the donor being compensated more or less. Donor Fees range between $4,000.00 - $15,000.00 depending on the donor. According to the American Society for Reproductive Center’s recommendations, donors should receive less than $10000. We work hard to comply with this requirement, however due to client demand, we do have some donors who have higher asking fees than the recommended ASRM amount. If you choose a donor over this amount, you will be asked to sign a form to verify that you understand the ASRM guideline.

Insurance Fees:
$400.00 - Brown & Brown (Medical Insurance Policy) This is a required medical insurance policy provided in the event that complications arise in the donor as a result of this procedure. This fee will not be incurred if your clinic already purchases this insurance for your donor.

Legal Fees:
$300.00 - for the donor to have legal counsel to review contracts with her.
If you want us to set you up with an infertility attorney to prepare, modify, and review the legal contracts with you we can do this for you or you may select the attorney of your choosing. If you want us to handle this, the typical fees range from $750 to $1000 (however some attorney’s charge more or less this is simply an estimate). You may choose your own attorney, but the attorney if preferred but you must be legally represented.

Travel Expenses (If donor is out of state) - We estimate between $1500.00- $3,000.00 for travel expenses. The donor’s travel is based on your doctor’s protocol. The typical travel routine is for the donor to travel twice. The first visit is usually a one-day turn around trip for the medical screening. The second trip the donor, plus one companion, is usually required to stay 5-10 days based on your clinics protocol.

Monitoring Expenses (If donor is out of state) - Monitoring costs are estimated to be $3,000.00 but may be higher or lower depending on your clinic’s protocol and the amount of times the donor is required to visit her local clinic . (To be paid directly to the monitoring facility)

Psychological Screening Expense – If your clinic doesn’t set up for a psychologist to screen the donor, we can do this for you. The average cost of a psychological report is $450-$500.

Is anything not included in these fees?

The only thing not included is whatever your clinic is charging you for the medical portion of the donation including medications. Your clinic should be able to provide to you an outline of these expenses.
