What published sources say
ASRM's egg-freezing fact sheet gives no dollar figure, and we did not find an ASRM, SART or CDC price range for egg freezing, so we do not publish one.

These are general statements, not quotes for any clinic and not a prediction of what you will pay. Prices vary by clinic, region, protocol and year. Figures are shown as published on the dates above.
What to ask so you can compare quotes
- What does the cycle price include: consultation, testing, medications, monitoring, retrieval and the freezing itself?
- What is the annual storage fee, when does it start, and what happens if payments stop?
- What does a later thaw-and-use stage cost, and is it quoted now or later?
- Are medications priced separately, and could the dose change the total?
- What does the clinic report about its own freeze-thaw and live-birth outcomes, and for which age groups?
- Does my plan cover elective egg freezing, or only fertility preservation for a medical reason?
General questions that apply to every treatment:
- What is included in a written cycle quote — monitoring, retrieval, transfer, anesthesia?
- How are medications billed — included, in-house pharmacy, or outside?
- What happens financially if a cycle is cancelled or does not result in a transfer?
- Are storage, genetic testing, and donor services priced separately?
- Which fees are due before stimulation starts?
Costs and your location
We do not have a sourced state-by-state or city-by-city price dataset, so we do not publish one. What we can show is which clinics are listed near you and where to check your state's insurance rules. Start with the state with the most listings or search the full directory.
Common questions
How much does egg freezing cost?
We do not publish a dollar range. ASRM's patient fact sheet says costs can be divided into 3 broad phases (consultation, testing, medications, stimulation and egg retrieval; storage, usually an annual fee; and later use of the eggs) but gives no figures. Ask each clinic for an itemized written quote covering all three phases.
Does insurance cover egg freezing?
ASRM's fact sheet says "Some but not all insurance plans cover elective egg freezing". Check your plan's benefits and your state's rules; see our insurance guide for where to look.
Is egg freezing a guarantee of a future pregnancy?
No. ASRM's fact sheet says freezing eggs is not a guarantee of future pregnancy or having a child, and that the chance one frozen egg yields a baby is only about 2-12%, dropping with age. Discuss your own situation with a licensed specialist.
