Overlake Reproductive Health has partnered with Embryo Options so that you can easily access your cryopreservation accounts. Embryo Options allows patients to securely pay for their cryopreservation storage fees online, as well as gain access to a comprehensive educational website that provides assistance with making future disposition decisions.
Overlake Reproductive Health will continue to store all embryos, eggs, or sperm for enrollees in the Embryo Options program. When you no longer wish to store your embryos, eggs, or sperm, you can access your secure Embryo Options portal to learn more about your disposition options:
- Thaw & Discard
- Donate to Research
- Donate to Another Couple
- Use own Embryos, Eggs, or Sperm
It is your responsibility to pay the monthly storage fees and informing the clinic as to how you would like to dispose of your embryos, eggs or sperm when continued storage is no longer desired. You will receive notifications when payment is due through the email address that you provide.
Overlake Reproductive Health will only use the form of payment you provide Embryo Options to satisfy fees owed for cryopreservation and storage services. All personal information you provide Embryo Options is kept strictly confidential and will not be sold for marketing purposes.
