According to CNBC, elective egg freezing can cost tens of thousands of dollars in the United States, with one cycle typically priced at $10,000 to $20,000 and a three-cycle total for a 38-year-old woman in New York City reaching $47,000, according to FertilityIQ. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she froze her eggs and noted that her insurance did not cover any of the procedure, highlighting the broader lack of coverage for the treatment.

The article said around 22% of employers with 500 or more workers offered elective egg freezing coverage in 2025, up from 5% in 2015, while 40% of companies with more than 5,000 employees provided the benefit last year, compared with 8% a decade earlier. Mercer found that a maximum lifetime benefit of about $20,000 is common, and experts said storage, implantation and taxes can add to the bill.
