There are two kinds of answer to this question and only one of them is a number. Some clinics publish a self-pay list and let anyone read it; most do not, and produce a personalised estimate after a consultation that costs money to attend. This page is about the difference, because knowing which kind of clinic you are dealing with before you book tells you more about what the process will be like than any single figure does.
Ask providers for a written price
What a clinic that publishes actually shows you
Extend Fertility's self-pay page is a table. Egg freezing is $8,500 per cycle with the assessment and consultation at $250 and medication at $3,000 to $5,000. It does not stop at egg freezing either: embryo freezing and IVF are $14,500 per cycle, a frozen embryo transfer is $4,900, PGT biopsy is $300 per embryo and the genetics lab fee about $225 per embryo. A patient can work out what any of those paths costs before speaking to anybody, which is exactly what a published price is for.
What a clinic that publishes a range shows you instead
CCRM publishes an average-cost table with a range on each line: consult $100 to $559, medications $4,000 to $10,800, anesthesia $525 to $1,400, single cycle $5,500 to $11,925. It explains why, and the explanation is credible: physicians write customized protocols, so costs vary from patient to patient, and the patient support team produces a detailed estimate once a plan exists. A range is less convenient than a point and more honest than one, and it still lets a reader bound the decision.
What a clinic that publishes nothing shows you
Kindbody operates at nineteen US locations and publishes a services and pricing page that opens by saying the prices listed are cash-pay rates. On it, an egg freezing consultation is $300, a fertility consultation is $300, its Pulse assessment is $99 and a male consultation with semen analysis is $525. The medical workup is listed as $Varied, dependent on coverage and treatment needs, and the cycle itself does not appear. This record does not treat that as a price of zero or estimate around it: a provider that publishes no price is recorded as publishing none.
What to do with the silence
Ask for the same four lines every published list carries, in writing, before the consultation if possible: the cycle price, whether anesthesia is inside it, the medication estimate for your protocol, and the annual storage charge. Two of those four are answered on both published lists in this record, one is answered on both as a range, and the fourth is answered on neither. A clinic that will put all four in writing is telling you something about how the rest of the process will go.
Questions people ask about cost of egg freezing
Why do so few clinics publish a price?
The published lists themselves suggest the reason: protocols are customized and medication varies several-fold between patients, so a single number is hard to stand behind. CCRM says exactly that. It is an explanation rather than an excuse, since two of the three clinics read here publish anyway.
Is a published price a better price?
This record does not say so and has no basis to. It records which providers publish and what they publish. Nothing here compares the quality of anybody's care.
What is the cheapest published figure?
CCRM's single egg freezing cycle starts at $5,500, with anesthesia charged separately at $525 to $1,400 and medication at $4,000 to $10,800 on top. Extend Fertility's flat $8,500 includes the anesthesia.
Does the consultation fee come off the treatment price?
Neither published list says it does. Extend states its $250 is collected at the consultation unless an in-network insurer is being used, and CCRM lists its consult as a separate line with testing not included.
