Why Insurance Matters

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.
