Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) in Newport Beach

Serving the Newport Beach & Irvine Areas

What is IUI?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a common fertility treatment option that involves placing washed sperm directly into the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization. At CCRM Fertility in Newport Beach, we offer state-of-the-art IUI treatments & compassionate expertise that are both customized to meet the individual needs of our patients.

The IUI process with CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach

While IUI continues to be the gold standard of infertility treatment in the medical community, at CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach, we understand that every patient is unique. That’s why we begin the IUI process with a comprehensive evaluation of both partners, including a thorough medical history, physical examination, and laboratory testing. Our experienced team of reproductive specialists will then collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

Before beginning IUI treatment, patients may undergo ovulation induction to stimulate the ovaries and increase the chances of successful fertilization. This may include taking oral medications or receiving injectable hormones, depending on your individual needs.

Once the ovaries are stimulated, we will monitor your cycle closely using ultrasound imaging and hormone testing. When the follicles have reached the appropriate size, we will administer a trigger shot of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to trigger ovulation.

Approximately 24-36 hours after receiving the hCG shot, you will return to our clinic for the IUI procedure. During the procedure, we will insert a thin catheter through the cervix and into the uterus, where washed sperm will be injected directly into the uterus. The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, and patients can return to normal activities immediately afterward.

The Cost of IUI in the Orange County Area

The cost of IUI treatment at CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach varies depending on several factors, including the individual patient’s needs and the specific treatment plan that is recommended. However, we strive to provide affordable and accessible fertility treatment options to all of our patients.

CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach participates with numerous insurance and fertility benefit providers.

Is IUI Covered by Insurance in California?

If you’re considering intrauterine insemination (IUI) as part of your family-building journey, it’s important to understand how insurance coverage may support your treatment. In California, fertility coverage varies depending on your plan type and provider, but recent legislation is helping expand access for more individuals and couples, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community and single parents by choice.

While IUI is often one of the first steps in fertility care, coverage is not guaranteed under every plan. For patients enrolled in fully insured large group health plans (employers with more than 100 employees), California law requires coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility beginning July 1, 2025. This may include IUI when deemed medically necessary.

Small group plans (100 or fewer employees) must offer infertility coverage, but IUI may not be included unless the employer opts to provide it. Self-insured employers, religious organizations, and Medi-Cal managed care plans are not required to follow state fertility mandates.

IUI may be covered in cases such as:

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Mild male factor infertility
  • LGBTQIA+ family building using donor sperm
  • Single individuals using donor sperm
  • Ovulation disorders
 

Because coverage can vary widely, our financial counselors are here to help you:

  • Review your current benefits
  • Verify if IUI is covered under your plan
  • Estimate out-of-pocket costs
  • Explore self-pay and financing options

     

At CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach, we believe that informed care is empowered care. Whether you’re just beginning or ready to move forward with IUI, our team is here to support you with clarity and compassion. Contact us today to speak with a financial counselor and take the next step in your journey.
