How much does egg freezing cost in the United States, and what the published cycle price leaves out

Egg freezing is bought almost entirely with the patient's own money, which is why clinics publish a price for it when they publish nothing else. Two of the three US clinics read for this record print a full self-pay list, and the useful thing is not the headline figure but the structure underneath it: the cycle price, the medication that is billed by a pharmacy rather than the clinic, the anesthesia that one clinic includes and the other charges separately, and the storage that neither of them prices at all. A woman budgeting for this from a single advertised number will be short by thousands.

How to turn a clinic's cycle price into what you will actually pay

  1. Find the cycle price and check what it says it includes. Extend Fertility publishes $8,500 per cycle and states that it includes all monitoring visits, the retrieval procedure with anesthesia, and vitrification. CCRM publishes a single egg freezing cycle at $5,500 to $11,925 and lists anesthesia as a separate line at $525 to $1,400. Those two figures are not comparable until the anesthesia is put on the same side.
  2. Add the medication, which is not the clinic's charge. Both published lists carry it as an additional fee and both say it is paid to a pharmacy. Extend states $3,000 to $5,000. CCRM states $4,000 to $10,800. That is the single largest variable in this procedure and it is decided by the protocol a doctor writes, so no clinic can quote it precisely in advance and none of them try.
  3. Ask what the consultation costs before it happens. Extend charges $250 for the initial fertility assessment and provider consultation, collected at the consultation. CCRM publishes an initial consult at $100 to $559 with testing not included. Kindbody, which has 19 US locations, publishes an egg freezing consultation at $300 as a cash-pay rate. All three publish this number; only two publish what comes after it.
  4. Ask for the storage price in writing, because nobody publishes it. This is the one line every published list in this record declines to fill in. Extend prints the word Storage against `Inquire within`. CCRM states plainly that testing and storage fees are not included in its costs. Storage is an annual charge that continues for as long as the eggs are kept, which can be a decade, so an unpriced line here is the largest unknown in the whole decision.
  5. Ask what a second cycle would cost. One retrieval does not always produce the number of eggs a patient wants banked, and the published prices are per cycle rather than per outcome. Neither list read here publishes a discounted second-cycle rate, so the arithmetic a patient should do before committing is the single-cycle figure multiplied by the number of cycles they might realistically need, with the medication added each time.

The two clinics that publish a cycle price

Extend Fertility in New York publishes a self-pay page with one figure per line. Egg freezing is $8,500 per cycle, stated as including all monitoring visits, the retrieval procedure with anesthesia and vitrification, with an initial fertility assessment and provider consultation at $250 and medication at $3,000 to $5,000 paid to a pharmacy. Its list continues past egg freezing: embryo freezing and IVF are each $14,500 per cycle, a frozen embryo transfer is $4,900, and a PGT biopsy is $300 per embryo plus a genetics lab fee of about $225 per embryo.

CCRM Fertility publishes an average-cost table instead, with a range on every line: an initial consult at $100 to $559 with testing not included, medications at $4,000 to $10,800, anesthesia at $525 to $1,400, and a single egg freezing cycle at $5,500 to $11,925. It states that costs may vary from patient to patient because protocols are customized, and that all fees are estimates subject to change. Both of those are honest caveats and neither of them stops the figures being useful.

Why the two lists are not directly comparable, and how to make them so

Extend's $8,500 has the anesthesia inside it. CCRM's $5,500 to $11,925 has the anesthesia outside it, at $525 to $1,400. Put the two on the same footing and CCRM's cycle-plus-anesthesia runs $6,025 to $13,325 against Extend's $8,500, which lands the New York clinic in the middle of the national range rather than at either end of it.

The medication tells a different story. Extend's $3,000 to $5,000 and CCRM's $4,000 to $10,800 overlap only at the bottom, and CCRM's top figure is more than its own low cycle price. That is not a disagreement between two clinics about what drugs cost; it is the honest width of a variable that depends on a woman's age, her ovarian response and the protocol her doctor writes, and a clinic that quoted it narrowly would be guessing.

The line nobody prices

Storage does not appear as a figure on either published list. Extend prints `Inquire within` beside it. CCRM says testing and storage fees are not included in its costs. Kindbody publishes consultation prices and marks its medical workup as `$Varied`.

This record does not fill that gap with an estimate, because a provider that publishes no price is recorded as publishing none. What it will say is what the absence means for a budget: storage is billed annually and continues until the eggs are used or discarded, so a decision taken at thirty-two can carry a recurring charge into the forties. It is the first thing to get in writing and the last thing any of these lists tells you.

What this page is not

It is not clinical. It does not say whether anybody should freeze their eggs, at what age, how many eggs they are likely to retrieve, what an AMH result means or what their chances are afterwards. Those are questions about a person's own body and a doctor answers them; this site states no clinical claim on any page.

It is not a ranking either. Two clinics are named here because they publish a price and a third because it publishes only part of one. That is the whole basis on which any provider appears in this record, and it is not a judgement about the quality of anybody's care.

Questions patients ask before they book

What is the lowest published cycle price?
Of the lists read for this record, CCRM's range starts at $5,500 for a single egg freezing cycle, with anesthesia charged separately at $525 to $1,400. Extend Fertility publishes a flat $8,500 per cycle with the anesthesia included.
Is medication included in the cycle price?
No, on either list. Both publish it as an additional fee paid to a pharmacy rather than to the clinic: $3,000 to $5,000 at Extend Fertility and $4,000 to $10,800 at CCRM.
What does storage cost?
Neither clinic publishes a figure. Extend Fertility prints `Inquire within` against the storage line and CCRM states that testing and storage fees are not included in its costs. This record does not estimate a price a provider has not published.
Does insurance cover egg freezing?
That is a question about a particular plan and this site does not answer it. What the published lists show is that both clinics maintain a self-pay price list at all, which is what a procedure looks like when the patient is normally the payer.
How current are these figures?
Every figure on this page was read from the clinic's own site on 10 September 2026 and is dated for that reason. Extend Fertility's page states that prices are subject to change and CCRM's states that all fees are estimates subject to change without prior notice.
