Egg Freezing: How to Negotiate Costs and Own Your Options
A candid conversation about navigating egg-freezing costs, maximizing employer benefits, and making informed financial decisions.
Free Egg Freezing Cost & Provider Comparison Toolkit included with registration.
Considering freezing your eggs but unsure where to start with insurance, costs, and choosing a provider?
The financial side of egg freezing can feel overwhelming, but understanding your options, knowing what to ask, and advocating for yourself can make a meaningful difference.
When I went through the process, I leveraged two different employer benefit plans, compared fertility providers, negotiated pricing directly with clinics, and built a spreadsheet to track my costs and evaluate my options.
Now, I'm sharing what I learned so you can approach these decisions with greater clarity, confidence, and ownership.
What you'll walk away with
Practical negotiation strategies: How to approach pricing conversations with fertility providers, what to ask, and where you might find opportunities to reduce costs.
A framework for comparing providers: How to evaluate quotes, identify what's included (and what's not), and compare your options.
A better understanding of your benefits: Questions to ask your employer and insurance provider to uncover potential fertility coverage and understand how different plans may apply.
A clearer picture of the total cost: What to consider beyond the procedure itself, including medications, storage, and future expenses.
A free, editable Excel toolkit: A cost and provider comparison template adapted from the spreadsheet I used to evaluate my own options.
A little something to celebrate
We'll also briefly celebrate Gameto, a women's reproductive health company that helped inspire one of my venture fund investments and recently announced it's pending $1.4B acquisition.
It's a meaningful milestone and an opportunity to talk about why investing in women's health innovation matters, both personally and financially.
What to expect
Bring your questions! There will be time for live and anonymous Q&A.
Whether you're just starting to explore egg freezing or are already comparing providers, you'll leave with practical questions to ask, a clearer framework for evaluating your options, and a tool you can put to use.
