Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC – Tucson (Skyline Dr) — An Honest Patient Guide

Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC is registered at 1775 E. Skyline Drive in Tucson, Arizona — in the Foothills area of northern Tucson, near the Catalina Foothills neighborhoods and the Skyline Country Club corridor. This NPI registration appears in provider directories without a specific suite number in the address, in contrast to a related entity (Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC at 1775 E Skyline Dr, Suite 175) that holds a separate, suite-specific NPI at the same building.

For patients who have found this address in an insurance provider directory, a billing statement, or a SART search, the practical explanation is this: the fertility practice at 1775 E Skyline Dr holds multiple NPI registrations — this one (without a suite number) is the primary LLC entity NPI, while the "Suite 175" entry is a subsidiary or location-specific registration. Both entries represent the same clinical practice, operated by the same physicians, under the Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute brand and its affiliated practice, the Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (ACREI).

Three related Tucson entries exist on this site:

1. This listing — The primary LLC NPI at 1775 E. Skyline Drive (no suite number)
2. Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC – Suite 175 — Suite-specific NPI at same building
3. ACREI (Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility) — Main brand at 5190 E Farness Dr, Suite 114

Physicians and Clinical Team

The clinical team at Vivere / ACREI serves both the Skyline Dr Foothills locations and the Farness Dr main-brand location.

• Michael Doody, M.D. — Dr. Doody has been one of Tucson's leading reproductive endocrinologists for many years. As a founding physician of the ACREI/Vivere practice, he has built a reputation for complex IVF case management and long-term patient relationships within the Tucson community.

• Board-Certified REI Physician(s) — The practice maintains additional ABOG-certified reproductive endocrinologists. Patients should confirm current physician availability at the Skyline Dr location when scheduling, as assignments across locations may vary.

• Nursing and Support Staff — Fertility nurses handle monitoring, medication guidance, and patient communication at the Skyline Dr location. The Foothills patient base is served by the same team structure as the Farness Dr location.

Services and Treatments

The Vivere/ACREI clinical program offers:

• IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) — Stimulation, retrieval, embryo culture, and fresh or frozen transfer.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) — For male-factor infertility.
• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) — Natural and stimulated cycles with partner or donor sperm.
• Egg Freezing — Elective and medically indicated preservation via vitrification.
• Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) — Transfer of vitrified embryos.
• Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A / PGT-M) — Chromosomal and monogenic screening.

Laboratory and Success Rates

The embryology laboratory for the Vivere/ACREI practice supports IVF procedures at both Tucson locations. SART reporting for this practice may appear under the ACREI brand name, the Vivere entity name, or another associated registration. Patients should search all related entity names to locate the complete outcome data.

Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.

Ask the clinic's team at your consultation which SART entry corresponds to your treatment and where you can find the relevant outcome data.

Patient Experience

The Skyline Dr address in the Tucson Foothills places this clinic in one of Tucson's most desirable and highest-income residential areas — convenient for patients from the Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, and Marana communities who prefer a north Tucson address over driving to the central or east-side medical corridors. The Foothills are known for their proximity to the Santa Catalina Mountains, hiking trails, and a quieter residential environment compared to central Tucson.

The dual NPI registrations at this address (with and without suite number) are an administrative artifact rather than a clinical distinction. The practice operates as a single entity, and patients will not notice any difference in care quality or physician access based on which NPI their insurer has on file.

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

Arizona has no state fertility insurance mandate. Coverage for fertility treatment depends on employer benefit design. Tucson patients include University of Arizona employees (whose benefit plans vary by classification and union status), state government employees, and private-sector patients.

For insurance verification at this address, patients should provide both the "Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC" entity name and the 1775 E Skyline Dr address to their insurer. Confirm with the billing office which NPI will be used for claims to avoid authorization mismatches.

For patients without coverage:

• Self-Pay Pricing — Request from the clinic's billing office.
• Third-Party Financing — Medical financing for treatment costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Skyline Dr address have two separate NPI registrations? The "without suite" NPI is the primary LLC entity registration for the entire Skyline Dr address. The "Suite 175" NPI is a location-specific or sub-entity registration at the same address. This dual registration is common when a practice has registered a general address NPI and then added a more specific registration for a particular suite or clinical unit. For insurance billing purposes, the clinic's billing office will specify which NPI to use.

Is this the same practice as the Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility? Yes. ACREI is the brand name under which this practice operates clinically. Vivere Arizona Reproductive Institute LLC is the legal entity associated with the Skyline Dr location. The same physicians serve both addresses.

Is the Foothills address or the Farness Dr address more convenient? It depends on where you live. The Skyline Dr (Foothills) address is more convenient for patients in Oro Valley, Marana, the Catalina Foothills, and northern Tucson. The Farness Dr address (ACREI main clinic) serves central, east, and mid-Tucson patients. Ask the scheduling team which location makes more sense for your monitoring schedule during a treatment cycle.

How do I verify my insurance covers this practice? Provide your insurer with the practice name, address, and both potential NPI registrations. Confirm with the clinic's billing staff which NPI will appear on claims and request that your insurer authorize under that specific NPI to avoid processing delays.
