Does the Gestational Carrier carry Medical Insurance?
Medical insurance is very costly and, because of the financial burden already faced by many intended parent(s), can be a significant issue when planning to work with a gestational carrier. Even if a gestational carrier has insurance, there is still the very real possibility that the coverage may contain an exclusion of benefits for claims made for a pregnancy when the insured is acting as a gestational carrier. It is imperative that intended parent(s) are fully informed of their gestational carrier’s coverage prior to starting any medical procedures. The medical bills can be overwhelming if the proper insurance is not in place. Fortunately there are insurance agencies that will provide coverage for gestational carriers who lack such benefits; however, this coverage can be very costly. If intended parent(s) are not certain of their gestational carrier’s insurance coverage, it is in their best interests to consult with an attorney or other professional experienced in reviewing insurance
