• No! It can be a great benefit to your Intended Parents if you have surrogacy-friendly health insurance (as it can save them money), but it is not required!
  • If you have health insurance already, we will work with you to get a copy of your health insurance policy to see if it will cover surrogacy or not (some plans do, some don’t). If your existing health insurance is surrogacy friendly, we can rely on that policy to cover the cost of your prenatal and pregnancy care.  If your existing insurance is not surrogacy friendly, we will work with your Intended Parents to secure a back-up plan that will cover the cost of surrogacy.
  • If you don’t have health insurance at all, we will work with your Intended Parents to purchase a policy for you, so that you have surrogacy friendly insurance in place by the time you become pregnant.
  • If we need to obtain new or additional health insurance for you, there is no cost to you – the Intended Parents would be responsible for those premiums, in addition to any out-of-pocket medical bills, co-pays, etc.
