AI Smart Summary
Pre-match medical screening means surrogate candidates complete comprehensive medical evaluations before they are introduced to intended parents. This physician-led approach helps reduce failed matches, lowers unexpected costs, shortens timelines, and provides greater confidence throughout the surrogacy journey.
Key Takeaways
- Screening occurs before matching
- Physicians review every candidate
- Lower risk of failed matches
- Better IVF outcomes
- More confidence for intended parents
The Most Expensive Mistake in Surrogacy Happens After the Match
If you’ve researched other agencies, you’ve probably seen this pattern: you’re matched with a surrogate based on her profile, her location, maybe a phone call that felt right. Then your IVF clinic runs her medical workup — and that’s when problems show up. Thin uterine lining. An undisclosed fibroid. A lab marker that disqualifies her. The match collapses, and the screening fees you already paid are gone.
At Surrogacy4All, we built our process to prevent that outcome entirely. Every gestational carrier in our database has already been cleared by board-certified reproductive medicine specialists on our own team — before she is ever presented to you as a potential match. We don’t ask you to find out the hard way.
How Our Screening Differs From a Typical Agency
| Operational Feature | Surrogacy4All (Physician-Led) | Typical Third-Party Agency |
| Who clears a surrogate medically | Board-certified reproductive medicine specialists on our own team | Non-medical case coordinators following an administrative checklist |
| When clearance happens | Before she’s ever presented to intended parents | After a match, usually during a single visit to the IVF clinic |
| Where lab and uterine work is done | In-house, using our own clinical infrastructure | Outsourced entirely to a third-party fertility clinic |
| Who absorbs the financial risk if screening fails | Surrogacy4All — before you’ve spent a dollar on her workup | Intended parents, after they’ve already paid screening fees |
What This Means for Your Budget and Timeline
When screening happens after a match, the financial risk sits with you. You pay for her travel, her lodging, and her workup at your clinic — and if she’s disqualified, you start over and pay again. Because we run diagnostic ultrasounds, full lab panels, infectious disease screening, and psychological evaluation in-house before a candidate enters our active database, that risk is absorbed by us, not by you. The practical result is fewer canceled matches and fewer surprises in the weeks before embryo transfer.
Medical Oversight at Every Step, Not Just at Intake
Because our leadership includes physicians, not just case managers, clinical judgment stays involved throughout the match — not only at the screening stage. A surrogate’s history of prior pregnancy complications or a previous C-section is reviewed by reproductive specialists, not flagged by an administrative checklist. That continuity matters when your family’s outcome depends on getting these calls right.
Built for New York’s Strictest-in-the-Nation Standards
Surrogacy4All has operated under New York State licensing since 2006 and holds NYS Gestational Surrogacy License GSP220903 under the Child-Parent Security Act (CPSA), in addition to our long-standing NYS Tissue Bank license. New York’s CPSA requires rigorous psychological screening and independent legal representation for every surrogate, and our physician-led structure keeps our medical and matching teams in constant communication — which makes meeting those state-mandated requirements far more consistent than a model where medical and matching functions are handled by separate, disconnected vendors.
