For patients under 35, CCRM Minneapolis reported a live-birth rate of 56.6% per intended egg retrieval and Center for Reproductive Medicine, Advanced Reproductive Technologies reported 53.7% (CDC data for 2022). CCRM Minneapolis reported the higher rate for patients under 35, and Center for Reproductive Medicine, Advanced Reproductive Technologies for patients 35 to 37, 38 to 40 and over 40.
These are averages for each clinic's own patients, who differ in age, diagnosis and treatment history, so a higher rate can reflect who a clinic treats as much as how well it treats them. The CDC's own guidance says "comparisons between clinics should be made with caution", because clinics "have different patient populations or ART treatment methods".

What each clinic posts on its website
Each amount is the clinic's own posted figure, linked to the page it was read on, with what it covers. The two clinics' amounts rarely cover the same services, so we never call one cheaper from posted prices: read the terms, then ask both for an itemized quote.
