What is included

European Sperm Bank's private sperm deposit (Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg and Lyngby) costs DKK 6,400 including VAT for the count analysis, preparation, freezing, HIV and hepatitis B and C tests and one year of storage; each additional sample is DKK 3,850. Renewal costs DKK 1,303.75 for one year, falling per year with longer terms (DKK 4,470 for five years, DKK 7,934.25 for ten). Few other Danish providers publish prices for private sperm storage.

Public funding and insurance

Public hospital fertility departments freeze sperm free of charge when an illness or its treatment threatens fertility; private freezing for personal reasons is self-paid. Ask your treating hospital department for a referral.

Storage limits and consent

Public fertility departments store medically indicated samples for an initial period (Aalborg University Hospital states five years, ten for people under 18) and then ask you to decide on extension. Private banks store under a renewable contract. Regulator: Danish Patient Safety Authority (Styrelsen for Patientsikkerhed).
