International Patients in New York, NY

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.

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.

The Center for Human Reproduction offers high-quality care combined with comprehensive treatments to help patients achieve their fertility goals. Led by Dr. Gleicher and Dr. Barad, our team is renowned for our success with complex cases, including those where the patients have thought there were no options left. We have successfully helped patients with severe infertility challenges conceive using their own eggs. CHR offers hope where others may not.
