Egg Donation Fee

The cost of one cycle of Egg Donation at Bay IVF Center is $6,730, the two cycle plan is $13,460. This represents only the laboratory portion of the treatment cost, as we do not bill for physician care at Bay IVF Center. This fee does not include the cost of medication and required prerequisites.

 

We hope that the Egg Donation treatment fee at Bay IVF Center will maximize the affordability of Egg Donation and the probability of a successful outcome.

 

The total Egg Donation treatment cost consists of the following four components:

 

• Cost of recipient couple’s prerequisites
• Cost of egg donor’s prerequisites
• Medication cost
• Egg donor and recipient couple’s treatment fee

 

Some or all of the Egg Donation cost may be covered by your insurance.

 

Cost of prerequisites

 

We require very few prerequisites. Both you and your egg donor could complete them within a short period of time and be ready to start your treatment cycle as soon as possible. If some of the prerequisites have already been done, they may not need to be repeated.

 

Recipient Couple’s Prerequisites:

 

Female partner’s physical examination	$0
Measurement of the uterus size	$0
Pelvic ultrasound	$0
Sonohysterogram	$0
Semen analysis	$195
Male and female partner pathogen testing required by the State of California, typically done and billed by an outside laboratory of patient's choice.

 

Genetic Testing of Male Partner (Optional)

 

Male partners should consider genetic screening (video) for over 100 most common genetic diseases. The egg donor's prerequisites include this genetic screen (not optional, see below). Please let us know at the time of your initial appointment at Bay IVF Center if you wish to have your blood sample sent for genetic screening. The cost of this testing is $380.

 

Egg Donor’s Prerequisites:

 

Physical examination	$0
Pelvic ultrasound	$0
Ovarian Reserve Assay (before each cycle of treatment)	$485
Genetic testing	$350
Anonymous donor pathogen testing required by the State of California and FDA	$1,005
Known donor pathogen testing required by the State of California	$190
Pre-procedure pathogen testing required by FDA (both anonymous and known donors)	$1,035
Total anonymous donor	$2,875
Total known donor	$2,060

 

Cost of Medications

 

The typical cost is $1,800 to $2,800 or more per cycle of Egg Donation treatment charged by a pharmacy.

 

Treatment Fee - One Cycle - $6,730

 

Services covered in the one cycle fee:

 

• Estrogen and progesterone determinations
• Preparation of semen sample(s)
• Oocyte identification, embryo culture, including possible extended culture to blastocyst, and embryo transfer
• Serum pregnancy test(s)
• There is no charge for all your and your donor's office visits, physician ultrasound examinations, physician clinical monitoring required for Egg Donation ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval procedure, analgesia, use of procedure room, and physician portion of embryo transfer.

 

Your Egg Donation treatment may require supplementary procedures billed in addition to the regular treatment fee of $6,730:

1. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection-ICSI ($1,900): The ICSI procedure may be needed for egg fertilization. You will be scheduled for partial or full ICSI if any of the following applies:

    

   1. The male partner has never caused a pregnancy or only with the help of ICSI.

       

   2. In your prerequisite semen analysis or in the semen collected the day of your egg retrieval, the total number of motile sperm in the whole ejaculate is less than 5 million.

       

   3. In your prerequisite semen analysis or in the semen collected the day of your egg retrieval, the percentage of morphologically normal sperm is less than 5%.

       

   4. Low yield of high quality sperm: After your semen sample has been prepared for egg insemination, the total number of progressively (vigorously) motile sperm in the whole sample is less than 3 million.

       

   5. Less than three mature eggs were retrieved.

    

2. Assisted Hatching of embryos ($980): You will be scheduled for the Assisted Hatching procedure if either one of the following applies:

    

   1. Your egg donor has a history of one or more unsuccessful Egg Donation treatments.

       

   2. Her Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) level in the treatment cycle's Ovarian Reserve Assay is 8.0 or greater.

    

3. Cryopreservation and storage of embryos ($1,100): If you have “extra” embryos left after the embryo transfer, you may decide to cryopreserve and store them for possible future use. This fee includes up to 12 months of embryo storage.

    

4. Sperm cryopreservation and storage fee is ($415): If you anticipate any problems providing a semen specimen on the day of your egg retrieval, please ask us to freeze your preliminary semen specimen as a back-up. This fee includes up to 3 months of sperm storage. Using frozen semen for treatment will require semen specimen thawing ($170).

If your treatment results in a pregnancy, you will require complex early pregnancy monitoring (typically 6 to 8 weeks) done at Bay IVF Center.  This care is not covered under the Egg Donation fee:

 

Office visits		$0
Pelvic ultrasound(s)		$0
Estradiol determinations (typically 4-6)	each	$160
Progesterone determinations (typically 4-6)	each	$210
