57.5%best under-35 rate

7 fertility clinics in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA metro area report IVF outcomes to the CDC ART program. The highest reported live-birth rate per intended egg retrieval is 57.5% for patients under 35 (Palo Alto Medical Foundation), 54.5% for 35 to 37 (Nova In Vitro Fertilization), 36.2% for 38 to 40 (Palo Alto Medical Foundation) and 13.0% for over 40 (Palo Alto Medical Foundation). These are CDC averages that depend heavily on age and diagnosis, not a guarantee for any individual, and a higher rate can reflect a clinic's case mix as much as its lab.

How much does IVF cost in San Jose and Silicon Valley?

What one IVF cycle costs, here and nationally. The 4 clinic-published prices in the San Jose area are listed below the insurance section, each with its own terms and source.

We found clinic-published IVF price references at 4 of the 7 San Jose-area clinic locations we have checked so far. Each amount covers a different service (a retrieval-only fee, a bundled cycle, or the low end of a range), so read the terms beside it rather than averaging them. Nationally, a single all-in IVF cycle typically runs $25,000 to $32,000, and because the average patient needs 2.3 to 2.7 cycles, a realistic amount to budget is $40,000 to $60,000.

Insurance

Does insurance cover IVF in San Jose and Silicon Valley?

What California law requires of health plans, and why your employer's plan type matters as much.

CaliforniaMust cover IVF

Yes, for many plans: California requires some fully-insured health plans to cover IVF.

Under SB 729, large-group fully-insured plans (more than 100 employees) must cover infertility diagnosis and treatment, including up to three completed egg retrievals with unlimited embryo transfers. Small-group plans only have to offer infertility coverage, and the state employees' plan (CalPERS) follows from July 1, 2027.

California's full answer, with fertility preservation

State insurance laws reach only fully-insured plans, and 67% of covered US workers are in self-funded employer plans, which set their own fertility benefits whatever the state requires. About 50% of employers with 500 or more workers now cover IVF. How to check your own plan.

    $12,500

    Recorded terms and exclusions

    Kindbody publishes $12,500 for one IVF cycle. The stated inclusions are ovarian stimulation monitoring, egg retrieval procedure, semen preparation, fertilization and culture of the eggs, and embryo transfer procedure. Treatment medications are not included. Kindbody says its listed prices are cash-pay rates, insurance or employer-benefit pricing may vary, and services vary by location. The Los Altos, California clinic page confirms the Silicon Valley location and offers IVF, but does not publish a separate Los Altos-specific IVF fee; therefore, local applicability of the $12,500 network price is unconfirmed and it should not be treated as a location-specific quote.
