The advertised number is the cycle, and the cycle is not the bill. Two US clinics publish enough detail to build the whole figure rather than guess at it, and doing so changes the answer materially: one of them charges for anesthesia separately, both bill medication through a pharmacy at three to ten thousand dollars, and neither will print what storage costs. This page assembles the total from the published lines, keeps the ranges as ranges, and leaves the unpublished line unfilled rather than estimating it.
Ask providers for a written price
Building the number from Extend Fertility's list
Extend Fertility publishes four relevant lines for egg freezing. The initial fertility assessment and provider consultation is $250, collected at the consultation. The cycle is $8,500, and the list states that this includes all monitoring visits, the retrieval procedure with anesthesia, and vitrification. Medication is an additional fee of $3,000 to $5,000, paid to a pharmacy rather than to the clinic, and the list notes it may be covered by insurance. Storage carries no figure at all, only the words Inquire within. Add the three published lines and one cycle at Extend runs $11,750 to $13,750 before a single year of storage.
Building the same number from CCRM's list
CCRM publishes ranges rather than points, and includes a line Extend does not. Its initial consult is $100 to $559 with testing not included. A single egg freezing cycle is $5,500 to $11,925. Anesthesia is charged separately at $525 to $1,400. Medications are $4,000 to $10,800. CCRM states explicitly that testing and storage fees are not included in these costs. Add the published lines and one cycle at CCRM runs $10,125 at the bottom to $24,684 at the top, which is a spread of more than two to one on the same procedure at the same clinic, driven mostly by the drugs.
Where the difference between the two actually is
Put the anesthesia on the same side and the two clinics' cycle prices are close: Extend's $8,500 all-in against CCRM's $6,025 to $13,325 once its separate anesthesia line is added to its cycle. The medication is where they part, at $3,000 to $5,000 against $4,000 to $10,800, and that is not really a difference between clinics at all. It is the same variable described narrowly by one and widely by the other, and it depends on age, ovarian response and the protocol a doctor writes rather than on which building the retrieval happens in.
The two lines that are still missing
Storage is unpriced on both lists and it is an annual charge that runs for as long as the eggs are kept. Neither clinic publishes a second-cycle rate either, and one retrieval does not always bank the number of eggs a patient wants, so anyone doing this arithmetic seriously should run it twice and see whether the answer is still affordable. Those are the two questions to put in writing before a consultation, and this record will not fill either of them with a guess: a provider that publishes no price is recorded as publishing none.
Other questions people ask
So what is the all-in number?
On the published lines, roughly $11,750 to $13,750 for one cycle at Extend Fertility and roughly $10,125 to $24,684 at CCRM, in both cases before any storage, because neither clinic publishes a storage price.
Why is the medication range so wide?
Because the protocol is written for the patient. CCRM says as much: costs vary from patient to patient because treatment plans are customized. Its published medication range of $4,000 to $10,800 is wider than its own low cycle price.
Is the retrieval itself the expensive part?
Not on these lists. At Extend the $8,500 cycle covers monitoring, retrieval with anesthesia and vitrification together, and the drugs can add most of that again. The procedure is one line among several rather than the whole cost.
Do these clinics charge for the consultation?
Yes, and all three read for this record publish that figure: $250 at Extend Fertility, $100 to $559 at CCRM with testing not included, and $300 at Kindbody as a cash-pay rate.
