What you need to know about surrogacy insurance liens 

We’re on the heels of another Affordable Care Act (ACA) open enrollment period. Open enrollment starts November 1st and closes January 15th. Missing this window makes it tough to get a good policy for surrogacy if you need one. 


Does your surrogate need surrogacy-friendly insurance?

Now’s the time to find her a plan.

If you’re taken our Surrogacy Blueprint course, done your research, or have a stellar agency, then you’re probably waiting for this time. 

But here’s the catch: not all insurance is suitable for surrogacy. 

Some plans come with hidden restrictions called liens. Surrogacy insurance liens might cost you an extra $40,000 or more! 

In the worst-case scenario, you could pay double your surrogate’s compensation.

As more insurance companies add these surrogacy insurance liens, this problem is growing. If you’re entering open enrollment hoping to find the right plan, you need to listen up.

Today we’re sitting down with Sarah Paige from ART Risk to for expert tips on what these liens really mean for your surrogacy experience
