Surrogacy Insurance vs Direct Medical Coverage: The ConceiveAbilities All-In Difference

ConceiveAbilities All-In Program covers your surrogacy-related medical expenses – from the beginning of your surrogacy journey through fourth trimester postpartum recovery, with no out of pocket expenses. Our coverage conforms to a standard major medical policy, ensuring ease and clarity throughout the process.

From the start of your surrogate’s medical screening with your fertility clinic through delivery, neither you, nor your surrogate, will need to worry about dealing with insurance companies, potential disputes, surprise billing, late bills, or the complexities of coverage; we’ve got it all handled, directly and immediately. This allows you to focus on what matters most, a healthy surrogacy journey, while we manage the details behind the scenes, ensuring both you and your surrogate are fully supported.

Unlike other agencies that leave you to manage insurance claims and disputes, our All-In Program removes the hassle by offering comprehensive, direct coverage from the start of your surrogate’s medical screening at your fertility clinic through delivery and postpartum 4th trimester recovery. With our direct medical coverage, your surrogate’s IVF-complications (if any) and pregnancy-related medical expenses are fully covered, just like a major medical policy but without the headaches.

Please note that intended parents are responsible for medical costs associated with their fertility clinic, fetal care, out-of-network providers, holistic treatments, and optional testing requested by intended parents. We’ll work closely with your surrogate to integrate and optimize any and all of her existing insurance coverage, ensuring she’s fully protected.

This streamlined protection allows you to focus on what truly matters—welcoming your baby—while we manage all the details, ensuring both you and your surrogate are fully supported.

Surrogacy Medical Coverage and Surrogacy Insurance Frequently Asked Questions

What will my surrogate’s medical coverage cost?

Your surrogate’s direct medical coverage is included in our All-In Program.

Am I responsible for covering my surrogate’s medical costs?

Yes. Intended parents are responsible for their surrogate’s medical expenses. Our comprehensive All-In Program includes comprehensive medical coverage and is designed for a gestational surrogate’s health and the intended parents’ peace of mind.

Does a surrogate need their own insurance?

Yes. As outlined in her contract, your surrogate is required to carry her own insurance. Our team of insurance experts will conduct a thorough, formal insurance review to ensure we maximize the benefits of her existing coverage. Any surrogacy-related medical expenses not covered by her insurance will be addressed through our direct coverage, similar to any major medical insurance policy. The cost of our All-In Program encompasses all payments and deductibles related to your surrogate’s medical expenses related to the surrogacy pregnancy, including any costs associated with her insurance premiums and direct coverage.

Can I use my medical insurance to cover the surrogacy journey?  

No. Because insurance plans won’t cover non-members, your policy will not cover the gestational carrier. However, the intended parents’ insurance may cover medical costs for the baby once it is born.

As part of our All-In Program, we will work with your surrogate to maximize benefits on her insurance policy.

Does the surrogacy cost cover life insurance for my surrogate?

When will medical coverage for my surrogate start?

Our direct medical coverage provides comprehensive protection from the beginning of your surrogacy journey through to the fourth trimester postpartum recovery, with no out-of-pocket expenses for you. We handle all medical costs, ensuring you and your surrogate are fully supported throughout the entire process – but for reasonable and plain English exclusions that are detailed for you.

How does partnering with a leading surrogacy agency ensure my surrogate has the right medical coverage?
