The 28,072 procedures for New York residents included 23,082 embryo transfers and resulted in 9,049 live-birth deliveries and 9,456 live-born infants. Counting births in the calendar year instead, 8,707 of the 210,742 infants born to New York mothers in 2021 were conceived with ART.
CDC counts procedures and births by the patient's state of residence, so New York residents treated in another state are included here and visitors treated in New York are not. CDC notes that state figures may not reflect the clinics located in the state.
With this many clinics, the state total is only background. Ask each clinic you shortlist for its own results for women your age and with your diagnosis, and what a cycle includes.
Since January 1, 2020, New York large-group plans must cover three IVF cycles, while individual and small-group plans cover infertility treatment but not IVF, and self-funded employer plans are outside these rules. Ask your insurer or HR which applies to you, and confirm before each cycle, because rules change.
Map to the Positive answers a question many New York patients face:
Neither model is better; it depends on what you value most. What matters, the book says, is the professional, not the size. Look for someone who gives you time, explains every step, is transparent about costs and offers therapeutic alternatives.
This comparison is in Chapter 31 of Map to the Positive, in Station IV, with the questions to ask at a first appointment and when to seek a second opinion. The same station covers when to see a specialist, the treatment ladder and IVF step by step.
