Are there any medical risks to the Intended Parents or surrogate and should additional insurance be obtained?
Any and all risks should be thoroughly discussed with the reproductive endocrinologist. The medical risks to the Intended Parents are generally very low (though in a gestational surrogacy there may be some related to egg retrieval). The risks to the surrogate are normally those associated with any pregnancy and delivery. All parties should attempt to have applicable medical and hospitalization insurance in place, including maternity coverage, to cover all anticipated medical contingencies.
