What Main Line Fertility does

Main Line Fertility is a private, regional fertility clinic network headquartered in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, founded in 1994 by Dr. Michael J. Glassner. The practice operates six clinic locations across Pennsylvania (Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, West Chester, Havertown, Reading, Fort Washington) and serves patients across the Greater Philadelphia region, South Jersey, Delaware Valley, and an international patient base spanning ten countries. It operates as a member of The Prelude Network under parent company Inception Fertility.

The clinical offering spans the full fertility care continuum: core treatments (IVF, IUI, timed ovulation), fertility preservation (egg, sperm, and embryo freezing, plus oncofertility), diagnostic testing (PGT, ERA, ReceptivaDx, fertility testing), and third-party reproduction (donor egg, donor sperm via MySpermBank, gestational surrogacy). Specialized tracks address LGBTQ+ family building, fertility care for patients 40+, and single parenting. The CAP-accredited laboratory (constructed 2013, accredited with distinction) supports advanced ART technologies including NGS-based preimplantation genetic screening, time-lapse incubators, and ICSI. The practice is clinically led by seven board-certified reproductive endocrinologists supported by nurse practitioners, a physician assistant, and a Director of Patient Experience.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-cycle treatment fees (IVF with PGT starting at $17,300, standard IVF from $14,300, egg freezing from $8,900), recurring cryopreservation storage fees through Haven Cryo, bundled multi-cycle programs via BUNDL (including a 100% money-back guarantee tier), insurance reimbursement through five major carrier networks, and employer-sponsored fertility benefit channels (Progyny, Carrot, Maven, Stork Club, WIN). Distribution combines direct-to-consumer clinic appointments, a formal referring provider program, an international patient program, and a robust ancillary ecosystem of acupuncture, nutrition, counseling, and financial partners.
