If family history or other factors indicate that a parents baby is likely to be at risk of having a condition treatable by cord blood in the future, or the patient is financially unable to meet the costs of cord blood storage, the client's lead maternity carer, obstetrician or doctor may apply to Cell Care for a subsidy on behalf of the patient.
Depending on the individual situation, Cell Care will meet part or all of the fees for an appropriate period. Please note that the eligibility for the program is entirely at Cell Care’s discretion. However, Cell Care seeks to administer this program fairly and will always consider the representations of the patient’s doctor.
