CCRM FERTILITY CLINIC IN DENVER, CO
IVF with Sex Selection in Denver, CO
Serving the Greater Denver Area
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.
At CCRM Fertility of Denver, 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 allows potential parents to 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 Denver, CO
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 Denver 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.
Insurance Coverage for IVF with Sex Selection in Denver
If you’re considering IVF with sex selection as part of your family-building journey, it’s important to understand how insurance applies. While Colorado’s fertility insurance law now requires large group health plans to cover diagnosis and treatment of infertility, it does not require coverage for procedures performed for non-medical reasons, including elective sex selection.
This means that while core components of IVF—such as egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer—may be covered if they are part of an approved infertility treatment plan, the additional procedures involved in sex selection, like embryo biopsy and genetic testing for gender, are typically not covered unless there is a clear medical necessity.
Coverage may include:
- Diagnostic testing and fertility workups
- Medically indicated IVF procedures
- Some prescribed fertility medications
However, elective genetic testing for sex selection and any related laboratory procedures are often considered out-of-pocket expenses.
At CCRM Fertility of Denver, we are here to help you navigate the details of your insurance plan and understand what is and isn’t included. Our financial counselors will work closely with you to review your benefits, provide transparent cost estimates, and explore financing options so you can make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
