Florida Fertility Institute

What Florida Fertility Institute does

Florida Fertility Institute is a privately held, physician-owned reproductive medicine practice founded in 1990 and operating across three locations in the Tampa Bay area of Florida (Clearwater, Tampa, St. Petersburg). It delivers advanced reproductive technology services including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) with laser biopsy at the blastocyst stage, intrauterine insemination (IUI), donor egg programs, gestational surrogacy coordination, microsurgical tubal reversal, and gender selection via PGT. The practice is led by two fellowship-trained, Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialists — Dr. Mark D. Sanchez and Dr. Yissa Fonticiella — supported by a board-certified nurse practitioner.

The business operates a sales-led, consumer-facing model combining physician referrals, patient testimonials, and direct acquisition, with revenue generated primarily through professional service fees per treatment cycle. Pricing is procedure-based: approximately $24,000 for an IVF cycle with gender selection (including medications and work-up), $5,900-$6,900 for microsurgical tubal reversal, $190 for semen analysis, and $400 for an initial self-pay consultation. The practice participates in-network with ten major insurance carriers (Aetna, AvMed, United Healthcare, Cigna, Humana, Florida Blue, Tricare, Coventry, First Health, MultiPlan) and offers third-party financing through Prosper, LendingTree, and NewLife Fertility Finance, plus LIVESTRONG Fertility assistance for cancer patients. Ancillary revenue streams include diagnostic testing, advanced gynecology, an aesthetics line (BOTOX, JUVÉDERM, Kybella, Latisse), and Obagi physician-dispensed skincare. The practice is Joint Commission accredited, holds active clinical trial involvement across 120+ pharmaceutical and device studies, and extends reach via telehealth new-patient consultations and out-of-state egg donor Skype consults.
