Donor Program

At ACRM, the Donor Program staff is dedicated to working with those patients involved in third party reproduction either through egg recipiency, sperm recipiency, egg donation, use of or serving as a gestational carrier, or embryo donation.  As such these dedicated health care professionals work day-in and day-out with the specialized needs and concerns of those patients.  Supporting the team concept in patient care, the Third Party program staff also works closely with the Patient Financial Services staff to ensure that patient financial and insurance questions are addressed at the onset of the process.

Information for Egg Donors

Egg Donors and Recipients are each evaluated to ensure their appropriateness for this specialized therapy. All potential egg donors undergo a complete evaluation which includes a review of family history, genetic counseling and testing as indicated, FDA-mandated infectious disease testing, ovarian reserve testing, drug and nicotine screens, and psychological testing and counseling. If an egg donor applicant qualifies after screening is completed, she will be matched with a recipient based on specific preferences requested by the recipient.
