Having already stored cord blood for our son a few years ago, it was only right to do the same for our precious little girl. With ongoing advancements in the possible uses, we see this as an investment into their future that has the potential to give more with the passing of time.*

Brodie was the 11th participant in the Cell Care cerebral palsy clinical trial. He is brighter and more engaging since the infusion which has had a significant impact on his quality of life. I couldn’t be more grateful for Cell Care.*

I can't recommend Cell Care and the storage of cord blood stem cells enough. It gives us the reassurance and peace of mind knowing that if needed there is potentially a life-changing treatment at hand.*

With annual storage plans, you pay a processing fee for the collection kit, transport, processing and testing of the cord blood and tissue collected. This fee is comprised of a deposit paid at enrolment, with the balance payable in a lump sum two weeks after birth or over a 12 month payment schedule. An annual storage fee is then paid for as long as you wish to continue storing and without fixed time commitment. The annual fee, adjusted for CPI (*further subject to change), covers one year of cryogenic storage. The first payment is payable three months after birth, and thereafter payable annually.
Prepaid storage plans combine fees associated with the collection kit, transport, processing, testing and storage of the cord blood and tissue. You choose whether to prepay storage for 20 or 30 years.
With a prepaid storage plan, there is a deposit payable at enrolment with the balance payable either in a lump sum two weeks after birth or by either a 12 or 24 monthly payment schedule. Payments start from $206 per month for a 24 month period for 20 years of cord blood storage.
