Cost of Surrogacy

The NWSC Guarantee Program gives families the peace of mind of a predictable cost for their surrogacy journey. This includes competitive match times, individualized support from our team, and all the benefits of working with a large, full-service agency as well as a refund of your agency fees and unspent surrogate base compensation if you have at least one embryo transfer and do not have a baby.

The NWSC team manages all of the screening costs, surrogate compensation and payments, unexpected surrogacy costs, surrogate health insurance premiums and medical bills, travel expenses, lost wages, reimbursements, and more. You can focus on what really matters: your pregnancy, your surrogate, and your baby. Not worrying about unplanned expenses gives you the best experience. Rather than managing numerous variable surrogate expenses throughout the journey, families benefit from a more predictable cost structure and the added reassurance of a refund if a transfer occurs but the journey is not successful. 

Ultimately, the Guarantee Program combines comprehensive surrogacy services, extensive financial coverage, and a unique refund guarantee to help families move forward with greater confidence.
