2 CDC-reporting fertility clinics in this metro area.
What the CDC NASS Data Shows for Cincinnati
The Cincinnati metropolitan area has 2 fertility clinics that report annually to the CDC National ART Surveillance System, with a combined volume of 2,182 ART cycles in the most recent reporting year. Reporting is mandatory under the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act of 1992, which means every ART clinic in the region is covered here, not a curated subset. The average overall success rate across these clinics is 40.0%, with individual clinic rates ranging from 36.4% to 43.6%.
A gap of 7.2 percentage points between the best- and worst-performing clinic in a single metro is common in CDC data, but it rarely reflects quality of care alone. Clinics that accept older patients, treat more complex infertility diagnoses, or serve a higher share of donor-egg cases will show different headline rates than clinics with a narrower patient mix. This is why the CDC publishes rates by age group and cycle type rather than a single clinic score. The clinic comparison table below lets you filter by the age band that applies to you, which is a more decision-relevant view than a raw overall average.
Regional concentration also matters for access: metro areas with 2 clinics typically offer more choice on cycle protocols, wait times, and ancillary services like donor egg or gestational carrier programs, while thinner markets can mean longer waits or travel. Insurance coverage is another variable, some states mandate infertility benefits while others do not, and coverage often varies by employer plan type.

These statistics are informational, not medical advice, and should be reviewed with a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who can interpret them in the context of your diagnosis and goals.
