What is included
Dutch hospitals and clinics publish regulated tariffs. TFP Medisch Centrum Kinderwens (Leiderdorp) charges €260.65 per ejaculate frozen, plus a one-off €161 registration and handling fee for the straws and €104 for an extended semen analysis; storage is €90.72 a year with a medical indication and €173.19 a year without one (2026 tariffs). Radboudumc's 2024 list showed €238.02 per ejaculate and €82.84 a year for storage.
Public funding and insurance
Basic health insurance generally reimburses sperm freezing when there is a medical indication, such as cancer treatment that threatens fertility; freezing and storage for personal reasons are self-paid at the clinic's non-medical tariff. Check your policy and ask the clinic which tariff code applies.
Storage limits and consent
We could not verify a statutory maximum storage period for a man's own sperm in the Netherlands; storage terms are set in your agreement with the clinic. Ask how often consent must be renewed and what happens after death or if fees stop. Regulator: Ministry of Health (VWS) under the Embryo Act; clinics licensed under the Special Medical Procedures Act (WBMV).
