Rochester Fertility Care, part of Rochester Regional Health, is located at 1561 Long Pond Rd, Suite 410, in Rochester, New York. As the fertility program of Rochester Regional Health — one of western New York's two major health systems alongside UR Medicine — Rochester Fertility Care brings hospital-system resources, academic integration, and subspecialty depth to patients throughout the Rochester metro and the broader Finger Lakes and western New York region. New York State's fertility insurance mandate fully applies at this location. Patients can also explore additional New York fertility providers in the New York fertility clinic directory.
Physicians and Clinical Team
Rochester Fertility Care's physicians are board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with fellowship training from ACGME-accredited programs, and their association with Rochester Regional Health provides the clinical infrastructure of a major health system — including access to genetics, maternal-fetal medicine, oncology, endocrinology, and behavioral health within the same network. The hospital-system model differs from standalone private fertility practices in its emphasis on multidisciplinary coordination: for patients with complex medical histories or fertility diagnoses that intersect with other health conditions, the ability to consult within Rochester Regional's network of specialists is a genuine clinical advantage.
The supporting clinical team includes reproductive nurses experienced in ART cycle management, sonographers trained in reproductive ultrasound, embryologists overseeing the laboratory phase of IVF, and patient coordinators who assist with scheduling, insurance navigation under New York's mandate, and financial planning. Rochester Regional Health's size and institutional infrastructure provide a patient services framework — including portal access, telehealth, and patient advocacy resources — that smaller standalone practices cannot replicate.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Rochester Fertility Care's IVF laboratory operates under New York State Department of Health licensing — one of the more rigorous state regulatory frameworks for ART laboratories — as well as federal CLIA requirements. New York requires that IVF laboratories pass a state inspection and maintain ongoing quality assurance documentation. The laboratory handles the complete in vitro cycle: egg maturity assessment, fertilization, extended culture through blastocyst, grading and selection, biopsy for PGT, and vitrification. The hospital-system context also supports laboratory quality through institutional quality management systems.
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 1561 Long Pond Rd, Suite 410 address is on Rochester's west side — accessible from the 390 corridor (I-390) and the outer ring road network, making it convenient for patients in Greece, Gates, Chili, Henrietta, Brockport, and other western and southern Monroe County communities. Rochester Regional Health's broader campus and system presence extends across the region, and patients who are already established within the Rochester Regional system may find continuity of care particularly smooth.
Rochester is a mid-sized city with a significant higher education presence — University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, and several smaller colleges — and a healthcare industry that is one of the region's largest employers. The city has a substantial African American community and significant immigrant populations from South America, Southeast Asia, and East Africa. Rochester Regional Health's broad health system mandate includes serving these communities equitably, and Rochester Fertility Care's affiliation with the system should reflect the same commitment to culturally responsive, accessible care.
The Finger Lakes region is also a source of referral patients for Rochester's fertility practices, as patients from Canandaigua, Geneva, Ithaca, Elmira, and other smaller cities look to Rochester for subspecialty medical care. Rochester Regional Health's established referral network throughout western New York facilitates these patient relationships.
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
New York State's infertility insurance mandate requires state-regulated health insurance plans that cover pregnancy-related services to cover the diagnosis and treatment of infertility — including IVF, IUI, and embryo cryopreservation — when medically necessary. The mandate provides for up to three completed oocyte retrievals per lifetime and applies to both individual and employer-sponsored plans regulated by New York State.
For Rochester patients with qualifying state-regulated insurance, the mandate can dramatically reduce out-of-pocket fertility treatment costs. Rochester Regional Health's billing team is experienced in working within the New York mandate framework, including prior authorization, documentation requirements, and appeals when insurers deny claims. As elsewhere, patients whose employers self-insure under federal ERISA law may not receive the state mandate's protections; these patients should verify their plan's terms directly with HR. Rochester's economy includes major employers — Paychex, Wegmans, Xerox (now Conduent), Rochester Regional Health itself, and UR Medicine — some of which offer fertility benefits beyond the state mandate. For patients without adequate coverage, Rochester Regional Health's financial counseling services and patient assistance programs are available.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rochester Regional Health, and how does its affiliation benefit fertility patients? Rochester Regional Health is one of western New York's two major health systems, with hospitals including Unity Hospital, Rochester General Hospital, and United Memorial Medical Center, along with dozens of specialty clinics. For fertility patients, the health system affiliation means access to genetics, MFM, oncology, behavioral health, and other subspecialties within a coordinated network — a meaningful advantage for patients with complex medical histories or diagnoses that intersect multiple specialties.
Does New York's fertility mandate cover services at Rochester Fertility Care? Yes. Rochester Fertility Care is a licensed New York State ART program operating within a New York State–regulated healthcare system. New York state-regulated insurance plans covering this location must comply with the fertility mandate. Patients with self-insured employer plans (not subject to state mandates) should verify their coverage directly with their insurer or HR department.
Can patients from the Finger Lakes region travel to Rochester for fertility care? Yes. Rochester serves as the primary subspecialty medical hub for the Finger Lakes region. Patients from Canandaigua, Seneca Falls, Ithaca, Corning, Elmira, and surrounding communities regularly travel to Rochester for care not available locally. For patients facing long commutes for monitoring appointments, the clinic may be able to help coordinate some monitoring locally during stimulation cycles.
How does the hospital-system model affect wait times for appointments? Hospital-system fertility programs sometimes have longer initial consultation wait times than private practices due to the integration of referral systems and the breadth of conditions they serve. Patients who have been referred by a Rochester Regional provider may have more direct access to the scheduling system. Prospective patients should inquire about current wait times when contacting the practice, and should communicate any urgency in their situation — including age-related time pressure or a cancer diagnosis — when scheduling.
