IVF with Donor Eggs - Costs

Course / Costs

Introduction & Summary

In some countries, compensating egg donors or third parties is illegal, limiting the availability of donors. As a result, many intending parents travel to countries with more flexible compensation laws, where donor options are broader but legal protections can be fewer and processes more complex.

In the United States, costs vary widely depending on the type of donor and the organization arranging the match. Typical expenses may include donor compensation, agency fees, medical screenings, retrieval procedures, medications, and legal contracts. However, intended parents using a known donor or purchasing eggs from an egg bank may avoid several of these costs.

Some employers or insurance plans that include infertility coverage may pay for laboratory services and embryo transfers but often exclude donor-related costs such as compensation, retrieval, and medications. It’s essential to review your specific policy and consult your benefits manager to understand what expenses are covered.
