For patients under 35, Kaiser Permanente Center for Reproductive Health-Fremont reported a live-birth rate of 46.7% per intended egg retrieval and Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area reported 53.4% (CDC data for 2022).

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.

IVF, as its website posts it
Kaiser Permanente publishes a single fresh or freeze-all IVF cycle fee of approximately $17,420–$20,600 for its Northern California Centers for Reproductive Health, including the Fremont location. The final amount depends on cycle type and added services such as embryo biopsy for PGT or assisted hatching. The quoted total includes applicable Kaiser Permanente fees for cycle management, monitoring, anesthesia, retrieval, transfer, embryology, Kaiser biopsy fees for genetic testing, and pregnancy testing. Medications are excluded and may cost up to $8,500; outside genetic-lab testing fees are also excluded. Prices may change without notice, services may vary by site, treatment is based on physician recommendation, and full payment is required when booking. Payment signifies readiness to begin within 90 days. The page describes these as average fees rather than a guaranteed Fremont-specific quote.

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.
