Payment Terms:
$2,850 is required to open escrow and is due upon selection of a donor. This fee is refundable, if the chosen donor does not pass the clinic's screening, less the $325.00 escrow administrative fee and any expenses incurred for screening.
$3,000 plus donor compensation and donor expense account must be deposited one business day prior to the donor starting stimulation medication.
Fees associated with the above are refundable, less an $825 administrative fee if the donor or clinic cancels the cycle for valid legal or medical concerns.
In the event intended parents decide to cancel the cycle, for any reason, and after the commencement of stimulation medication, the escrow maintenance fee, one half of the donor compensation, and one half of the agency fee will be due.
If the cycle is not successful, the subsequent agency fee is $2,500 plus applicable expenses.
