Success rates at every age
Each clinic's CDC live-birth rate per intended egg retrieval, for patients using their own eggs, in each age band (2022 data). Read the row for your age. A dash means the CDC reported no rate for that clinic at that age.
For patients under 35, HRC Fertility-Pasadena reported a live-birth rate of 42.8% per intended egg retrieval and LA/OC Fertility, Inc. reported 22.2% (CDC data for 2022). HRC Fertility-Pasadena reported the higher rate in all 4 age bands the two clinics report.
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". See how to read IVF success rates.
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.
LA/OC Fertility, Inc.
IVF, as its website posts it
The clinic publishes an example self-pay IVF range of $14,000-$18,000+ for IVF. The $14,000 figure is the low end for one base IVF cycle. Medication costs are not included. The clinic separately lists embryo transfer cycles at $3,000-$4,000 and genetic testing at $3,000+; these services should not be assumed to be included in the IVF price. Treatment costs depend on individual physiology, medication response, fertility goals, and insurance coverage, and prices are subject to change. The current official Reproductive Partners Medical Group South Bay clinic is in Torrance and states that it serves Redondo Beach, the former LA/OC Fertility service area.

Does insurance cover IVF at HRC Fertility-Pasadena and LA/OC Fertility, Inc.?
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. Fertility preservation: Fertility preservation is a covered basic health service when a covered treatment may cause infertility (all plans except Medi-Cal and self-insured plans). 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.
