- Collection Kit
Bring your ViaCord Collection Kit to the hospital on the day of your baby's birth and give it to your medical team to perform the cord blood and cord tissue collection. Call ViaCord 866-668-4895 when the collection is complete to arrange for pick up.

ViaCord Responsibilities
- Collection Kit Shipment
Collection kits are shipped to arrive by week 27 in the pregnancy. If you are due less than 13 weeks away, the kit will arrive shortly.
- Stem Cell Collection Results
ViaCord will send a cord blood and cord tissue collection result report approximately 6-8 weeks after your newborn's collection arrives at ViaCord's Lab.
- Newborn Digestive Health Results
Results on your child's genetic risk for celiac and primary lactose intolerance will be included in your stem cell collection results report.
Payment: What to expect
The credit card on your account will be charged automatically at the time of your delivery and upon successful processing and storage of your newborn’s stem cells. One charge will appear on your credit card statement. The charge represents your cost for all of your ordered products. If you have opted for one of our flexible monthly payment plans, your payment will be deducted each month on the date of your child’s delivery. Please note your cord blood annual storage fee will be billed automatically to the credit card listed on the 10th of the month your child was born. A statement will be sent to your home address.
