Long Island has its own network of fertility clinics, so most people don't need to travel into Manhattan to freeze their eggs. Prices are often a bit lower, but few clinics publish them, so you'll need to request an itemized self-pay estimate. The calculator above is set to a Long Island private practice.

Where to freeze your eggs on Long Island
Large fertility groups have offices across Nassau and Suffolk, including RMA of New York's Long Island locations (such as Melville, Lake Success and Garden City), Spring Fertility in Garden City and Stony Brook Medicine's Island Fertility in Commack. When comparing clinics, ask:
- What exactly is included in the cycle fee (monitoring, anesthesia, freezing, first-year storage)?
- Where is the egg retrieval performed and where is the lab?
- How many mature eggs do patients your age typically freeze per cycle?
- Are there multi-cycle discounts or refund programs, and what do they exclude?
Insurance and benefits
- Medically necessary fertility preservation (for example before chemotherapy) must be covered by New York-regulated plans.
- Elective egg freezing isn't covered by the state mandate, but employer benefits through Progyny, Carrot or Maven often cover part or all of a cycle.
- HSA and FSA funds can generally be used for egg freezing and storage.
