UCSF Center for Reproductive Health

What UCSF Center for Reproductive Health does

UCSF Center for Reproductive Health is an academic fertility clinic operating within UCSF Health under The Regents of the University of California, founded in 2002 and headquartered in San Francisco's Mission Bay district with a secondary location at the UCSF Berkeley Outpatient Center. The clinic delivers a full continuum of fertility care — IVF, ICSI, IUI, ovulation induction, preimplantation genetic testing, egg/embryo/sperm freezing, oncofertility, donor and gestational carrier programs, reproductive surgery, and LGBTQ+ family building — serving individuals, couples, LGBTQ+ families, single parents by choice, and cancer patients requiring fertility preservation.

The center is anchored by one of the nation's top-ranked embryology laboratories featuring time-lapse video incubators, microfluidics, AI-assisted embryo selection, advanced air filtration, and vitrification methods, supported by 17 reproductive endocrinologists, dedicated nurse practitioners, psychologists, genetic counselors, and an in-house embryology team. The lab holds CAP, CLIA, California Tissue Bank, and FDA certifications. UCSF CRH also operates a specialized multidisciplinary PCOS/PMOS clinic and a male reproductive health center, and has contributed 313 publications and 69 clinical trials over the past five years.

Revenue is generated predominantly through fee-for-service clinical procedures priced per cycle (IVF at $20.9K-$28.9K total, egg freezing at $12.9K-$15.9K, donor programs at $41.9K-$50.4K), supplemented by diagnostic testing. The clinic accepts six major insurance payors and offers financing through Future Family and ARC Fertility starting at $150/month. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, leveraging the UCSF Health brand reputation, Newsweek rankings (#1 California, #5 U.S. in 2026), academic research credentials, and direct-to-patient content marketing.
