Fertility tissue is irreplaceable. Whether it represents a family’s future, years of trying, or the protection of the most personal assets, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Proper insurance isn’t just about financial reimbursement; it’s about demonstrating a commitment to excellence, reliability, and customer care. Only Generations CryoVault offers true shipping insurance for fertility tissues.
Why Proper Insurance Matters When Transporting Fertility Tissue
Transporting fertility tissue—whether oocytes, embryos, sperm, testicular or ovarian tissue—is a delicate process that requires meticulous care and attention to detail. These shipments carry not only immense emotional value but also represent a significant financial and time investment. However, what often goes overlooked in this critical chain of custody is the type and quality of insurance that safeguards these irreplaceable assets during transit.
Understanding the Gaps in Competitor Coverage
Many providers in the fertility storage industry fall short when it comes to comprehensive insurance coverage. Here are three common approaches competitors take—and the pitfalls associated with each:
1. No Insurance: Some companies simply choose not to insure shipments at all, leaving customers with no recourse in the event of loss or damage. This creates an enormous risk, as the value of fertility tissue often far exceeds what many customers can afford to lose.
2. Self-Insurance: While this might sound reassuring, self-insurance often means that companies are relying on their internal resources to cover potential losses. In many cases, this approach lacks the financial backing to fully compensate customers in the event of a catastrophic incident.
3. Reliance on Commercial Auto Insurance: Some providers depend on general commercial auto insurance policies to cover shipments. However, these policies are rarely designed to handle the unique risks associated with transporting fertility tissue. Insurance carriers often limit cargo liability to company owned property and may exclude coverage for perishable or high-value medical materials, leaving critical gaps in protection.
The Gold Standard: A+ Rated Insurance Specifically for Fertility Tissue Transportation
At Generations CryoVault, we’ve taken a different approach. We believe that only A+ rated insurance carrier-backed insurance—specifically designed for the transportation of fertility tissue—offers the robust protection our customers deserve. Here’s why:
1. Specialized Coverage: Our insurance is tailored for high-value, sensitive goods in transit. Unlike general commercial policies, it provides comprehensive protection against a wide range of risks, including damage and loss.
2. Trusted Backing: Our insurance is underwritten by A+ rated carriers, ensuring financial stability and reliability. This means that in the unlikely event of a claim, customers can trust that their investment is fully protected.
3. High Value Limits at No Extra Charge: We include this specialized shipping insurance at no additional cost to our customers, with a value of $50,000 per customer per shipment. This provides peace of mind, knowing that their precious cargo is covered at every step of the journey.
