How to read this table
Cycle counts come from the CDC National ART Surveillance System for the 2022 reporting year, the latest final clinic-level data CDC has published. A high number of cycles for patients over 40 shows that a clinic regularly treats that age group; it is not a measure of quality or success, and CDC cautions against using its tables to rank clinics.
BMI and age policies are shown only where we found them stated on the clinic’s or its network’s official website and could quote them. A network-level policy is labelled as such, because a network page does not always apply to every location. Before paying a consultation fee, ask the clinic directly using our questions checklist.
