CCRM FERTILITY CLINIC IN NEWPORT BEACH, CA
IVF with Sex Selection in Orange County
Serving the Newport Beach & Irvine Areas
In vitro fertilization, or IVF, is one of the most reliable fertility treatments. It is a multi-step procedure that assists with many of the stages of conception to significantly increase the chance of a healthy pregnancy.
During treatment, we stimulate the ovaries so that mature eggs can be retrieved and then fertilized in a laboratory setting. After successful fertilization, healthy embryos are transferred to the uterus, one at a time.
At CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach, patients are happy to have any viable embryo transferred, but some are interested in choosing the sex of their child.
IVF allows for chromosomal sex selection (often referred to colloquially as gender selection) and lets potential parents balance out their families as they see fit.
How Does IVF Sex Selection Work?
It is not uncommon for our patients to ask about the possibility of gender selection. Some feel strongly about the gender they would like their only child to be, while others are already parents and are interested in balancing out their family by having a child of the opposite sex. No matter the reason for sex selection, the outcome can be achieved by examining the chromosomes of an embryo.
Females have two X chromosomes, so a mother will always pass an X chromosome to her child. Males have both an X and Y chromosome, so sex depends on whether sperm delivers an X or Y chromosome. If we examine an embryo’s chromosomes before embryo transfer, which is possible through IVF and genetic screening, parents have the opportunity to select the sex of their child.

Cost of IVF Treatment in Orange County
In vitro fertilization (IVF)can become costly, especially when considering all related factors. The cost of IVF treatment can vary widely depending on the type and complexity of the treatment, as well as other factors such as location and insurance coverage.
On average, one round of IVF costs between $14,000 and $24,000. This cost does not include medications, tests, and procedures associated with the cycle. CCRM Fertility of Newport Beach participates with numerous insurance and fertility benefit providers, and we also partner with Future Family to offer financing options and offer multi-cycle packages to help make treatment more affordable.
Is IVF Covered by Insurance in Orange County, CA?
IVF Insurance Coverage in California
Starting July 1, 2025, many large group insurance plans in California will be required to cover the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, including in vitro fertilization (IVF). This includes up to three completed egg retrievals and unlimited embryo transfers, following guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).
These changes are part of Senate Bill 729, California’s updated fertility mandate designed to expand access to care. The law ensures that coverage applies to individuals, same-sex couples, and those experiencing infertility as a result of medical treatment (iatrogenic infertility).
If you’re covered under a large employer plan or are a CalPERS member, these benefits may apply to you. For CalPERS plans, coverage begins January 1, 2027. Some small group plans may offer infertility benefits (excluding IVF), depending on your employer.
Additionally, certain fertility preservation services—such as egg or sperm freezing prior to medical treatment—may be considered a basic health benefit under California law.
Because insurance coverage can vary by provider and plan, we encourage you to contact our financial team at (650) 646-7500. We’re here to help you understand your benefits and make informed decisions about IVF at CCRM of San Francisco.
