What pushes the price up
| What | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Medicine | The drugs that help you make eggs are often billed apart from the cycle. ThePricer lists $3,000 to $10,800, and most clinics fall at $3,000 to $6,000. |
| City | Big city clinics charge more. GoodRx says New York City averages $17,773 while Jacksonville is near $10,500. Cofertility lists $10,000 to $18,000 for coastal cities. |
| Clinic package | Some clinics bundle tests, visits, and the first year of storage into one price. Others bill each part, so two quotes can look far apart. |
| Storage | Frozen eggs must be kept in a tank. ThePricer lists $800 to $1,250 a year, and GoodRx lists $300 to $500, with some clinics at up to $1,000. |
| Number of cycles | One cycle may not give enough eggs. GoodRx says total cost can reach about $30,000 to $40,000 for people who need several cycles. |
What the price includes
A cycle price usually covers the visits, scans, blood tests, the egg retrieval, and the first freeze. HRC Fertility says its price also covers the consult, medicine, tests, and anesthesia. Cofertility says the procedure price rarely includes medicine. Storage, and the later thaw and IVF steps, are almost always extra. It does not include tax or extras the provider adds on the day.
Does insurance cover it
Most health plans do not pay for egg freezing when it is done by choice. Some plans pay when it is needed for medical care, such as before cancer treatment. Some employers add fertility benefits that cover part of the cost. Rules differ by state and by plan, so call your insurer and ask in writing what is covered. Ask about the drugs too, since medicine can be billed apart from the cycle. If you pay cash, ask the clinic about payment plans.
When a doctor orders it
Doctors may suggest egg freezing before treatments that can harm fertility, such as chemotherapy or some surgeries. Many people also choose it to wait on having children. A fertility doctor will check your hormone levels and run scans to see how many eggs you may make. They will then suggest a plan and a price.
How to judge your quote
- Ask if the quote includes medicine, anesthesia, and tests.
- Ask how much storage costs each year and when billing starts.
- Ask what the clinic charges if a cycle gives few eggs.
- Ask what thaw and IVF will cost when you are ready to use the eggs.
- Compare the total with the range above: $8,000 to $18,000 per cycle for most people in 2026.
Ways to pay less
- Ask each clinic for a full written quote. Make sure it lists medicine, anesthesia, tests, and the first year of storage so you can compare.
- Compare prices in more than one city. Cofertility lists $9,000 to $13,000 in cities like Chicago and Dallas, below its $10,000 to $18,000 for coastal cities.
- Ask about bundled packages. Some clinics include the first year of storage, which ThePricer says can save money on the first bill.
- Check if your job offers fertility benefits. Some employers pay part of the cycle or the medicine, which can cut your cost a lot.
- Ask about medicine from an outside pharmacy. Drug prices vary, and ThePricer lists a wide range of $3,000 to $10,800 per cycle.
