Think the Cost of Cord Blood Banking is Too Expensive? Think Again.......

Do you consider the cost too much?

Let's put cost into prospective though. The initial collection, processing and storage fee is about $2,150.00 This price is published by who I consider the BEST company out there for cord blood storage.

Side note: There are a lot of cord blood banking companies out there. Very few have any quality control and are constantly being bought out and re-sold. Please, if you are going to spend the money, do it with the best company!!

However, there are always coupons available to cut the initial cost. The coupons range from $100.00-$250.00 and often times, you can combine coupons. So in reality, the initial start up costs are less than $2,000.00. And that does include first year's payment as well.

So the cost of cord blood banking is a little less than $2000.00 initially and $125.00/yr thereafter. For this, you have saved your child's stem cells forever.

There Are NO Additional Charges To Process

Remember, if your child (or family member) needs the stem cells for transplant there are NO additional charges to process it and make it ready. This is a huge advantage!

Compare that to transplant costs of a random donor of $100,000.00 to $300,000.00--Yes, Three Hundred Thousand dollars!

Now, if you don't save the cord blood stem cells, you are gambling that you won't ever need them. Lifetime risk of needing stem cells could be 1:2 if medicine progresses as rapidly as it has beenRefer here.

There Are Payment Options....Lots of Them!

Of course, there are payment plans as well. Some for as little as $48.00/mo. That is less than a popular cup of coffee a day for a month! It's less than a fast food meal for 15 days... You get the point.

A wonderful new addition to assist with payments is the Gift Registry where grandmothers (or any relatives) and friends can contribute to your cord blood enrollment fee. And there is an additional savings of $150.00 for signing up for the Gift Registry.

Just think, you could hint for people to contribute to the Gift Registry when they ask what you would like for a shower gift. What a great idea!!

So, in my opinion, the cost of cord blood banking is extremely small compared to it's potential life saving capabilities. I hope that you agree!!
