Billing FAQs

  1. How can I find out what payment plan I signed up for?

    To confirm your payment plan selection, just call our finance department at [NOT FOUND] or refer to your welcome letter. If you’re outside the United States, please call [NOT FOUND].

  2. When will I be charged?

    There is no payment due until the time of delivery. Annual storage fees are due each year during the month of your child's birthday.

  3. Will I receive an invoice when payments are due or will my credit card simply be charged?

    Your credit card will be charged automatically according to the payment plan you selected at the time of enrollment.

You should discuss this matter with your caregiver prior to delivery.

  4. When is my annual storage fee due?

    Your annual storage fee is due each year during the month of your child's birthday. If you have provided a credit card at the time of enrollment, ViaCord will automatically charge your annual fee to the card we have on file.

  5. Can I prepay the annual storage fees?

    Yes, you can prepay for 20 or 25 years of storage. This is a great option for people who appreciate the savings value, as well as the convenience of not having to think about annual payments. Simply call us at [NOT FOUND] and a representative will help you start saving today. If you’re outside the United States, please call [NOT FOUND].

  6. Is there a cost to retrieve my baby's stem cells?

    Yes, an additional $450 shipping charge is added to collections that take place in Puerto Rico.

  8. Will I be charged a fee by my healthcare provider for the collection?
