Customers can pre-pay for 10 or 20 years of storage to receive discounts off the $115 annual storage option.
NeoCells is another cord blood banking service that is trying to meet consumer demand for lower-cost services.
While they're not the cheapest in the US, they are below average cost-wise, and claim to be the least expensive service using automated processing on collected blood (manual processing can theoretically expose blood to damaging elements such as heat, resulting in lower stem cell yields.)
NeoCells uses sub-contracted laboratories for processing and storage in both Chicago, Illinois (believed to be the Reproductive Genetics Institute) and Paramus, New Jersey (Community Blood Services) locations.
