A clearer decision path

Know what to ask
before you decide.

Understand which freezing, storage, renewal and release items belong in a written Thailand IVF quotation.

01

Separate freezing from ongoing storage

An IVF or PGT package may include embryo vitrification and an initial storage period, while later renewals are billed separately. Ask the clinic to identify the start date, included duration and renewal date in writing.

  • Embryo vitrification or freezing
  • Initial storage period
  • Annual or multi-year renewal
  • Thawing and preparation for a later transfer
02

Compare the same contract scope

A headline storage fee is difficult to compare without the contract terms. Request a dated quotation in the payment currency and confirm whether the fee is per patient, treatment cycle, storage device or embryo group.

Contract itemWhat to confirm
Initial periodStart date, duration and what happens when it ends
RenewalNotice method, due date, currency and late-payment policy
ConsentWho may authorise continued storage, release or disposal
RecordsHow contact details and instructions are kept current
Future useThawing, transfer preparation and separate clinical fees
03

Plan for release or transport

Moving embryos between laboratories may require acceptance by both providers, identity and chain-of-custody documents, consent, a qualified transport service and suitable receiving storage. Availability and charges are case-specific.

  • Receiving laboratory acceptance
  • Identity and consent documents
  • Transport container and courier responsibility
  • Insurance and delay procedures
  • Records supplied after release
04

Ask before paying

Request the current storage agreement before payment and keep a copy with your treatment records. Confirm how the clinic contacts you, how instructions can be changed and which decisions require signatures from more than one person.

  • What exact period is included?
  • When and how will renewal be requested?
  • What is excluded from the quoted fee?
  • What happens if contact details change?
  • Which fees apply to a later embryo transfer?
01

Initial storage

Confirm when the included period begins and ends.

02

Renewal terms

Record the due date, currency, notice method and exclusions.

03

Future decisions

Understand release, transport, thawing and transfer responsibilities.

Next step

Compare the storage agreement, not only one fee.

Bring the written quotation and storage terms together before choosing a long-term embryo plan.
