How much does it cost to store cord blood?
If you wish to store cord blood in a public umbilical cord blood bank, then it is free. However, this does not provide your baby with exclusive use of the cord blood if he or she ever needs it to fight of some disease or disorder.
Storing cord blood privately will cost between $40-50 per month in most states of the US and about $60 month in Australia. However, as this become more commonplace, umbilical cord blood storage will become cheaper.
