More on the semen analysis, the first test for a man: what clinics and labs post for one.
When ASRM says to be evaluated
In the words of ASRM and the AUA/ASRM guideline.
“In patients having regular, unprotected intercourse and without any known etiology for either partner suggestive of impaired reproductive ability, evaluation should be initiated at 12 months when the female partner is under 35 years of age and at 6 months when the female partner is 35 years of age or older.”
“Earlier evaluation is appropriate after six months for over the age of 35, or for younger people with known health concerns that may make it more difficult to get pregnant, for example:”
“For initial infertility evaluation, both male and female partners should undergo concurrent assessment. (Expert Opinion)”
“Nothing in this definition shall be used to deny or delay treatment to any individual, regardless of relationship status or sexual orientation.”
What a first evaluation checks
From ASRM's patient fact sheet on diagnostic testing for infertility.
“The semen analysis is an essential part of the infertility evaluation.”
“One of the most commonly used tests for ovarian reserve is a blood test called Antimullerian hormone (AMH).”
“This is an X-ray or ultrasound procedure to see if the fallopian tubes are open and to if the shape of the uterine cavity is normal.”
“A blood progesterone level drawn in the second half of the menstrual cycle can help determine whether ovulation has occurred.”
“Any evaluation for infertility should be done in a focused and cost-effective way to find all relevant factors and should include both partners.”
The two tests a fertility workup starts with
A first visit at a fertility clinic usually begins with a semen analysis and a test of her egg supply, most often AMH (ASRM). At-home kits, and for AMH a blood test you can order yourself and have drawn at a lab, give you a first read on both before you book, lowest price first, each with what it measures; the clinic will usually test again before planning treatment.

What the visit itself costs: the first-consultation fees clinics post.
Many clinics also set a BMI limit before IVF, for the sedation at egg retrieval: the limit each clinic states, and what losing weight first costs.
When insurance pays for the diagnosis
Clinics say insurance often covers the first visit, and some states require coverage of the diagnosis of infertility. Two examples, in the laws' own words:
“No group policy of accident and health insurance that provides pregnancy-related benefits may be issued, amended, delivered, or renewed in this State on or after January 1, 2026 unless the policy contains coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility”
“shall provide coverage for medically necessary expenses of diagnosis and treatment of infertility for women between the ages of twenty-five (25) and forty-two (42) years”
Every state's fertility coverage law, and what each insurer says it covers: IVF insurance by state and insurer.
Cost is the reason people most often give for not going
A 2021 survey of 1,944 people in nine countries.
“Perceived cost was the most commonly reported barrier for respondents not seeking a consultation (37.5% of n=352) or treatment (42.0% of n=207).”
“The overall average times were 3.2 years to receiving a medical infertility diagnosis, 2.0 years attempting to achieve pregnancy without assistance before treatment, and 1.6 years of treatment before successful respondents achieved pregnancy.”
What clinics say beside the price
Insurance-billed prices, follow-up visits and discounts, as the clinics put them.
“Consultation is free for new patients; we bill health insurance where you have coverage that applies.”

Common questions about fertility consultation costs
How much does a fertility consultation cost without insurance?
31 US fertility clinics we found post a self-pay price on their own pages: from $100 to $750 for a first visit with a fertility doctor, most between $150 and $350, and 2 offer it free. Some include an ultrasound or an AMH test in the price; at others, tests are billed on top.
Does insurance cover a fertility consultation?
Often: several clinics say insurance usually covers the first visit, and some post a higher price for the insurance-billed visit than for self-pay. Some states also require coverage of the diagnosis of infertility, Illinois for group plans with pregnancy benefits from January 1, 2026 and Rhode Island for women aged 25 to 42, among others.
When should you see a fertility specialist?
ASRM says to start an evaluation after 12 months of trying when the woman is under 35 and after 6 months at 35 or older, and earlier for anyone with known health concerns. ASRM and the AUA/ASRM guideline on men also say both partners should be evaluated, at the same time.
What tests are done at a first fertility visit?
ASRM's fact sheet lists a semen analysis, an X-ray or ultrasound of the tubes and uterus (an HSG or saline sonogram), an AMH blood test for ovarian reserve, and a progesterone level in the second half of the cycle to confirm ovulation.
How much does an HSG cost?
Clinics that post it charge $478 to $850 self-pay for a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), the X-ray that checks whether the fallopian tubes are open.
