How to Choose a Surrogacy Clinic in Patna
Before you choose a clinic in Patna, check its IVF and surrogacy registration on the national ART and Surrogacy portal.
- Surrogacy registration: ask for the clinic’s surrogacy registration number. An IVF (ART) registration alone is not enough.
- Written, itemised quote: every stage listed separately, as in the table above, with what happens if a transfer fails.
- Delivery hospital: know where the baby will be born and whether it has a neonatal ICU.
- Legal support: who files the medical board, court and Appropriate Authority applications, and whether that is in the price.
- Insurance proof: a copy of the surrogate’s 36-month policy before the embryo transfer.
- Ask about the delivery hospital: if a Patna clinic cannot show a surrogacy registration, ask whether it works with a registered partner hospital.
- No “guaranteed baby” packages and no payment to the surrogate beyond what the law allows.
