What are the cost components of preserving cord blood?
The choice to preserve cord blood involves several stations until the cord blood unit is frozen at the end of the process. To make sense of the process, we have attached a “road map” of the consecutive phases:
Receipt of the kit and its collection by a messenger
Collecting the cord blood after the birth
Processing the cord blood unit
A series of tests of the mother’s blood and the cord blood
Conclusion of the process through preservation in a frozen state
Subsidies and Refunds
As previously stated, the State of Israel has been able to foster and cultivate the preservation of umbilical cord blood both within the law and as a subsidy as part of the pregnancy package allocated to mothers through the HMOs.
Cancellation Policies
- Should you decide to cancel the service up to 24 hours from the time of joining and before the cord blood collection kit has been delivered, the payment will be refunded in full.
- Should you decide to cancel after 24 hours from joining the service until the date of birth, a cancellation fee of NIS 250 will be charged, and the balance will be refunded.
- In case of abortion, termination of pregnancy, silent birth, or any reason for which the pregnancy was terminated - no payment will be charged/if a payment was made - it will be returned in full within 30 days to the registered bank account.
- Should the mother who purchased the service encounter reason(s) that the blood could not be collected at birth, a cancellation fee of NIS 250 will be charged, and the balance refunded.
- In the case where the cord blood was collected, the unit arrived at the laboratory. Still, it was decided by the birth mother not to preserve it since a small number of cells were found in the sample (less than 100 million); a cancellation fee of NIS 450 will be charged, and the balance will be returned.
- If the cord blood was collected and arrived at the laboratory, but for whatever reason, it was found that the unit is incompatible with freezing and preservation, a 10% service fee will be charged solely to cover costs, and the balance will be refunded.
A refund cannot be issued after the unit has been collected and frozen.
