What Is the International Patients Program at CHR?
The Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) in New York, NY is one of the largest and most respected fertility programs in the United States. CHR offers comprehensive fertility services with special access programs designed to accommodate the unique needs of our international patients. As the Center for Human Reproduction has grown, so has the number of long-distance and international patients seeking fertility treatments. These patients, who live too far from our Manhattan facility for daily visits, now make up more than half of CHR's consultations. A significant portion of these patients come from outside the United States for our specialized treatment expertise.
The logistics for long-distance patients differ significantly from those for local patients. Despite these differences, CHR ensures that all patients receive the same high-quality fertility treatments, reporting every IVF cycle to national registries at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). While treatment protocols remain consistent, we coordinate care to minimize the need for travel. Many long-distance patients may come to CHR for a second opinion consultation, either online or in-person, and then continue their treatment locally. For those who undergo IVF cycles with us, we work to coordinate care efficiently, minimizing their stay in the U.S. and ensuring seamless communication with their local healthcare providers.
How Do Fertility Treatments for Long-Distance Patients Work?
For many long-distance patients, receiving fertility treatments at the Center for Human Reproduction can be logistically challenging and costly. To address this, CHR minimizes the need for frequent visits by conducting initial consultations via phone or video. If further diagnostic evaluations are required, CHR's clinical coordinators arrange for tests to be performed at a local IVF center near the patient's home. CHR collaborates with numerous IVF centers worldwide, ensuring seamless coordination and care under CHR's protocols and supervision. This means all preliminary steps are handled locally, and the patient only needs to visit our New York, NY office once for a few short days.
The duration of our patients' stay depends on the type of IVF cycle. A standard IVF cycle typically requires about four days while cycles involving closer monitoring or embryo culturing may extend to 5 – 6 days. For egg donation cycles, the stay is often just 1 – 2 days. Throughout the treatment process, one of our clinical coordinators and physicians will offer support from the first consultation until the completion of treatment plans, ensuring continuity of care.
We prioritize our patients' comfort and convenience, ensuring that their accommodation and language needs are met. If you inform us of your arrival in advance, we can arrange hotel accommodations near our facility and provide language assistance during your visits with our physicians. In addition to English, our physicians and staff speak Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Russian, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Georgian, Romanian, Japanese, Tagalog, German, and Hebrew. For other languages, we can arrange interpretation and translation services as needed.
What Should Long-Distance Fertility Patients Consider?
For long-distance patients, especially those overseas, accessing the right fertility medications can be challenging due to availability issues. While similar drugs might be available locally, it is crucial for CHR long-distance patients to receive the same treatment as local patients, including the exact medications. Our clinical coordinators work diligently to ensure that all long-distance patients have access to the necessary medications to match the standards of care provided at our New York City facility.
The cost structure for long-distance treatment at CHR is straightforward: patients are only charged for services provided by CHR staff with local IVF centers billing for their services separately. Finding suitable local IVF centers is essential, though it can be challenging in rural areas of developed countries and major urban centers in less developed countries. In such cases, patients might need to come to NYC for the entire IVF cycle, which can be condensed to 2 – 3 weeks. While CHR prefers to provide all services at our facility, we understand the need to minimize travel time without compromising treatment outcomes. We strive to make fertility treatment as accessible and efficient as possible for our long-distance patients, ensuring high-quality care and successful cycle outcomes.

Great so far.
Dr Gleicher is a king, he is on the highest level of experience and knowledge. I met some IVF doctors before and no one came even close to his professionalism and wisdom. This generation of doctors are the real doctors, that know IVF inside out. And fight for their patients and not treat them like numbers like most others in that industry. They want the best outcome and actually investigate your issue based on their vast knowledge, almost like a detective. I am so thankful I met him.
Very compassionate, knowledgeable and great care!
Highly recommend, wish I found them sooner. Came to them as a second opinion. They did tests which two other reputable well known IVF clinics in the north east did not check for. Start here if you need answers.
Beautiful office and staff
