HCRM Fertility is located at 7308 S 142nd St in Omaha, Nebraska — a suburban commercial corridor in southwest Omaha that is convenient for patients in the southern and western parts of the city as well as those from Papillion, La Vista, Bellevue, Gretna, and communities across the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area. HCRM stands for Heartland Center for Reproductive Medicine, reflecting the practice's role as a regional fertility resource for patients across Nebraska, western Iowa, and neighboring states where reproductive endocrinology services are not locally available.

Physicians and Clinical Team
HCRM Fertility is staffed by board-certified reproductive endocrinologists whose breadth of training encompasses the full spectrum of infertility causes and treatments. As one of the primary fertility practices in the Omaha metropolitan area — which is the largest city in Nebraska — the practice carries significant regional responsibility for patients who have limited alternatives within reasonable driving distance. The clinical team includes fertility nurses, embryologists, monitoring staff, and administrative personnel experienced with navigating insurance for patients from multiple states with varying benefit structures. HCRM's physicians have been active in regional reproductive medicine and have clinical and educational connections with major Omaha health systems.

Laboratory and Success Rates
HCRM Fertility's embryology laboratory supports the full IVF workflow for the Omaha program, including fertilization, ICSI, blastocyst culture, vitrification and warming, and biopsy for genetic testing. As a regional fertility center with significant cycle volume for the Nebraska market, HCRM's laboratory team handles a meaningful caseload, which contributes to embryologist proficiency. Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
The S 142nd St location is in southwest Omaha's well-developed commercial zone near major retailers, restaurants, and clinical facilities. The area is easily accessible from I-80 and from the suburban communities that make up the majority of the Omaha population base. Patients from Council Bluffs and western Iowa cross the Missouri River via I-80 or US-275 for a 20–30 minute drive. The suburban location offers abundant parking and a relatively uncrowded environment during the frequent monitoring appointments that IVF stimulation requires. HCRM serves patients from across Nebraska — including Lincoln, Grand Island, and more rural areas — and has experience working with patients who travel significant distances to access subspecialty fertility care.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Nebraska does not have a state mandate requiring insurers to cover IVF. Iowa, which supplies a significant portion of the Omaha area patient base from Council Bluffs and surrounding communities, also lacks an IVF mandate. Coverage depends entirely on the patient's employer and health plan. Some large Omaha employers — including financial services firms, healthcare systems, and the University of Nebraska system — include fertility benefits voluntarily. HCRM's financial team can assist with insurance verification, prior authorization, and self-pay cost estimates. Financing options are available for uninsured cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does HCRM serve patients from Lincoln or other Nebraska cities? Yes. HCRM is the primary fertility program in Omaha and sees patients from across Nebraska who travel to the metro area for REI subspecialty care. Patients from Lincoln (approximately 55 miles west via I-80) regularly travel to HCRM. The practice may be able to assist with coordinating some monitoring locally for patients who live farther away.
Does the practice see patients from Iowa? Yes. Council Bluffs, Iowa, is immediately across the Missouri River from Omaha, and HCRM serves patients from the Iowa portion of the metro area as well as from further east in Iowa.
What happens if I have a medical complication during an IVF cycle? HCRM coordinates with Omaha's major hospital systems for any complications requiring hospital-level care. Patients should ask at consultation which hospital the practice has admitting privileges or transfer agreements with.
Can I be seen at HCRM if I am a same-sex couple or a single parent by choice? Yes. HCRM has experience with the full range of family-building pathways including donor sperm IUI, reciprocal IVF, and donor egg cycles for LGBTQ+ patients and single parents.
