Surrogacy Matching Expenses

Matching is a top priority for intended parents. Your All-In package includes recruiting, screening, and matching you with a healthy and highly qualified surrogate and includes unlimited rematches if there is a medical need. This is inclusive of:

• Thorough medical records review and, for your surrogate as well as others in her household
• Psychological screenings and background checks - all the way through to successful clearance of your surrogate by your fertility center
• If there is medical need or other reasons why a new surrogate is required, these services are provided again.

Backing Our Proven Process: Up to $5,000 Credit for Rematching

We believe in our proven process so strongly that we back it with confidence. ConceiveAbilities will defray the medical screening costs charged by your fertility clinic for rematching, giving you confidence in our surrogates and peace of mind during the process. In the event a surrogate is disqualified or withdraws, intended parents will receive a $2,500 credit after a first failed medical screening and $5,000 after a first failed embryo transfer, at rematch, ensuring your journey continues smoothly with a new match.

Please note that you, as an intended parent, are responsible for all bills and expenses associated with your fertility clinic. Your All-In package includes recruiting, screening, and matching you with a healthy and highly qualified surrogate and includes unlimited rematches.

Legal Expenses

Provision for the legal services you will need for your journey is included. Our legal team is the best in the industry. Their expertise and guidance is a part of the All-In Package.

• Legal representation for your surrogate; and the proper establishment of your parentage rights. These services are provided through the network of attorneys that ConceiveAbilities has vetted for their surrogacy expertise.
• Organizing an effective partnership with your surrogate. Once you have your surrogate match, we create a surrogacy agreement or surrogacy contract between both the surrogate and intended parents, which outlines fair involvement between both parties throughout the surrogacy journey. For instance, the agreement ensures the intended parents will be active participants through the surrogate’s prenatal care and beyond.
• Coordinating the legal and escrow work required to receive clearance from your fertility center for embryo transfer, inclusive of drafting and negotiating your gestational carrier agreement and properly establishing your parental rights.

Direct Medical Coverage Expenses

Our All-In Program includes direct coverage for surrogacy related medical costs, inclusive of coverages for medical, bed rest, disability, and life insurance.

Navigating the medical expenses associated with surrogacy can be complex, time-consuming, and overwhelming, and insurance companies don’t make that easy. With 30 years of experience, at ConceiveAbilities, we have the expertise, insight, and reach to fully understand the true cost of pregnancy and offer you “All-In” coverage of the medical expenses for your surrogacy journey.

ConceiveAbilities takes the burden off your shoulders by providing direct coverage of your surrogate’s medical expenses—from the start of your surrogate’s medical screening with your fertility clinic through delivery of your baby and your surrogate’s recovery. No need to worry about dealing with insurance companies, potential disputes, surprise billing, late bills, or managing the intricacies of coverage; we handle it all for you, directly. With this comprehensive protection, your surrogate’s IVF complications (if any) and pregnancy-related medical issues are covered, as per a standard major medical policy, ensuring ease and clarity throughout the process. This allows you to focus on what truly matters—welcoming your baby—while we manage the complexities behind the scenes, ensuring both you and your surrogate are fully supported.

Please note that you are responsible for all surrogate and fetal medical costs, medical costs associated with out of network or non-approved providers, second opinions, holistic providers, and additional, medically optional testing requested by you. We will work with your surrogate to integrate and maximize the benefits of any and all of existing insurance coverages that she maintains along with the coverage we are providing through this program.

Surrogacy Journey Management Expenses

Journey management expenses cover the dedicated coordination and oversight of every detail in your surrogacy process.

• Time and effort for management of the journey with your surrogate, coordinating the precise details at each step of the surrogacy process with subject matter experts, based on your custom roadmap.

Understanding Surrogacy Fees: Surrogate Compensation Expenses

With our All-In Program, we offer a comprehensive compensation plan, starting with a generous budget of $48,000. This amount is paid in installments, beginning pre-pregnancy, continuing throughout the pregnancy, and extending into the ‘4th Trimester.’ We recognize that choosing the right surrogate is a critical part of a successful journey. Surrogate compensation may vary based on market conditions and circumstances, such as the impact of the COVID pandemic. If your surrogate’s compensation exceeds the $48,000 base budget, the difference will be an additional cost to you. However, you will be fully informed of the total compensation package before finalizing your match.

• Compensating your surrogate inclusive of
  • Pre-pregnancy compensation payments beginning at her earliest steps of working with you, including her medical workup at your clinic, the start of the IVF process, and the embryo transfer
  • Base compensation, broken into pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and post pregnancy
  • Additional compensation for potential additional medical procedures such as multiple embryo transfers, cesarean delivery (or c-section), or multiple medication cycles
  • Compensation for a new surrogate should, for instance, there be a medical need to create a new match
• Coordinating and funding travel for your surrogate based on
  • The direction and requirements of your fertility center and obstetrician

Enhanced Compensation and Support for Your Surrogate's Well-Being

Offering the most comprehensive and well-structured compensation to your surrogate is essential to ensuring her focus, health, and well-being throughout the surrogacy journey. We have increased our best-in-class All-In Surrogate Care and Compensation package to attract the most highly qualified surrogate candidates, with no additional funding required by you.

• By providing pre-pregnancy payments—$1,500 at medical screening, $2,000 at the start of IVF (when she begins medications), and $2,500 at embryo transfer—your surrogate knows that her time and dedication are valued from the very beginning.
• We now start pregnancy payments at her first confirmation of heartbeat, rather than the second, to ensure she feels supported early on at this important milestone.
• We are now offering C-section payments to all surrogates, not just first-timers.
• Finally, we are increasing her life insurance coverage up to a maximum of $500,000, or that which she qualifies for, to demonstrate our commitment to her safety and security.

These updates to your surrogate’s compensation package create a supportive environment where your surrogate can fully focus on carrying your baby, knowing her and her family’s needs are met, allowing for a smoother, more successful surrogacy experience.

Wage Support & Recovery Program

Our Wage Support & Recovery Program ensures your surrogate is financially secure during any times when her normal activities are restricted due to medical need, covering up to $1,800 per week in her potential lost wages and added childcare and household expenses, with a $30,000 maximum. We also provide funding for seven days of lost wages for her partner, at any point during her journey.

This thoughtful benefit allows her to focus entirely on her health and the pregnancy without added financial stress, giving you peace of mind that both your surrogate and baby are well cared for. In the rare event that her weekly expenses exceed this amount, any additional costs will be your responsibility, but we will work closely with you to manage any exceptions, ensuring your journey remains smooth and her needs are well supported.
