Surrogate Payment & Benefits

Below is a full breakdown of the compensation and benefits package available to gestational carriers at Rocky Mountain Surrogacy. Intended parents cover every cost related to your journey — you will never be asked to pay agency, legal, medical, or screening fees.

How and When You’re Paid

All compensation is held in a secure third-party escrow account managed on your behalf. You will receive a clear payment schedule in your gestational carrier agreement, with milestone payments tied to confirmed pregnancy, completion of the first trimester, and additional pregnancy milestones, plus the bulk of your base compensation paid in monthly installments through delivery.

You will never have to chase a payment, follow up on a reimbursement, or wonder where your check is. Escrow exists for exactly this reason: to make sure you are paid on time, every time.
