Egg freezing is a process in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and preserved for future use. You may choose to delay parenthood for any number of reasons, whether it’s a medical diagnosis, professional goals, family medical history, or simply a desire to have a child later in life. Some people need to do this urgently because of a medical diagnosis such as cancer where the treatment may be harmful to eggs.
Though coverage for fertility care varies widely by insurance plan, the good news is that you have options. Egg freezing for fertility preservation is often not covered by insurance, but may be included if your insurance plan covers infertility and you are facing a medical treatment that will compromise your fertility. We are committed to guiding you through your insurance benefits, out-of-pocket expenses, and other financing options every step of the way. With Utah Fertility Center, you will never be in the dark about cost. To check your benefits before an initial consultation, you may want to reach out to your insurance company to see what your plan may cover.
