Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine (ACRM)

About Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine

Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine (ACRM) runs three offices in the Atlanta metro — Perimeter on Peachtree Dunwoody Road (the main center), Buckhead, and Marietta — and files its cycles as one SART reporting unit covering all three sites, so the figures on this page describe ACRM overall, not one building. Its 2023 SART report logs 2,855 ART cycles; the national per-clinic average in the same dataset is 932, and that average mixes single offices with large multi-site reporting units.

In January 2016 ACRM entered a partnership with the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine (CCRM) network. The division of labor is explicit: ACRM’s physicians own and operate the medical practice, while CCRM took over operation of the clinical, embryology and andrology laboratories, which run as CCRM Atlanta under laboratory director Ryan Miller, PhD, HCLD (ABB), a high-complexity lab director credential issued by the American Board of Bioanalysis.

On outcomes the clinic can be checked against, the practice’s SART 2023 report gives live birth per intended egg retrieval of 58.3% under 35, 39.9% at 35-37, 27.8% at 38-40 and 15.6% at 41 and over. The national 2023 averages on the same denominator run 53.2 / 39.9 / 26.2 / 9.4. ACRM sits above the country in the youngest and oldest bands, level at 35-37, and modestly ahead at 38-40 — solidly respectable numbers, not the sweeping “national leader” framing.

The published price list shows how central that pathway is: “IVF Freeze All Embryos Cycle” is a named package, priced separately from a standard fresh cycle, and biopsy/CCS-PGT-A is a listed add-on. ACRM estimates nearly 800 babies born to its patients in 2021 — a clinic self-reported figure, not an independently verified count. Patient reviews average 4.3 across 332 ratings.

Accreditations & Awards

• SART member clinic filing cycle data with SART and the CDC for the 2023 reporting year — the reason every age-band number above is independently checkable
• CCRM Network member since January 2016, with CCRM operating the clinical, embryology and andrology labs as CCRM Atlanta
• Laboratory director holds HCLD (ABB) — Ryan Miller, PhD, HCLD (ABB), certified as high-complexity clinical laboratory director by the American Board of Bioanalysis
• Newsweek “America’s Best Fertility Clinics” for 2023 and 2024, as listed on the practice’s About page
• Payer designations: “Center of Excellence” recognition from OptumHealth (a UnitedHealth company) and an “Institute of Excellence” designation from Aetna, both clinic-listed
• CLIA-regulated laboratory for diagnostic and embryology testing, per the clinic’s profile

Why Choose Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine

• The lab is run by CCRM, not just “affiliated”: since 2016 the CCRM network has operated ACRM’s embryology, andrology and clinical labs under its own standards and protocols — the practical meaning of the partnership, beyond the logo
• Self-pay prices published up front: seven itemized IVF bundle rates ($5,082-$23,516) appear on the clinic’s own fees page, including donor-egg and PGT-A variants — most Atlanta clinics quote nothing until you’ve booked
• A three-person care team per patient: every patient is assigned a primary physician, a primary nurse, and a patient care coordinator who handles scheduling, records and all non-clinical questions
• Three offices for monitoring: stimulation-cycle scans and bloodwork can happen at Perimeter, Buckhead or Marietta, whichever is closer to home or work in a week of frequent visits
• Support services at no charge: a weekly infertility support group, plus mental-health counseling and nutritional guidance alongside the medical treatment
• Built for out-of-town patients: baseline testing can be done near home, consultations run by telemedicine, and only time-critical procedures require being in Atlanta; the clinic works with your own interpreter or supplies one
• Financing through Future Family: 0% APR up to low monthly payments over 3-60 months, with prequalification that doesn’t affect your credit score

IVF & Fertility Services

• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): ovarian stimulation, monitoring, ultrasound-guided egg retrieval, and transfer of fresh or frozen embryos; blastocyst culture, assisted hatching and micromanipulation are performed in-house
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): single-sperm injection for male factor infertility
• PGT-A and PGD: preimplantation genetic screening for chromosome number and testing for known genetic conditions, with carrier screening recommended as part of pre-conception workup
• IUI (intrauterine insemination): washed sperm placed directly into the uterus during the fertile window
• Egg freezing: vitrification for planned-delay family building and medical preservation
• Egg donor treatment: using donated eggs, anonymous or known
• Gestational carrier (surrogacy) program: coordination for gay male couples, patients at high medical risk from pregnancy, and others who need someone else to carry
• LGBTQ+ family building: the practice describes this as a founding-ethics commitment, not an add-on service line
• Oncofertility: sperm, egg and embryo freezing before cancer treatment
• Fertility testing for both partners: hormone and ovarian-reserve panels, semen analysis, and imaging of the uterus and tubes
• Diagnosis and treatment of PCOS, premature ovarian failure, recurrent pregnancy loss, endometriosis, hirsutism, and complicated menopausal problems
• Telehealth: phone and video appointments for new-patient consultations and treatment planning

Fees & Packages

ACRM publishes self-pay case rates on its IVF costs page (figures as collected in August 2026; the clinic’s own pricing, subject to change):

What the rates exclude is as important as what they cover: medications, anesthesia, testing, trial transfer, pregnancy checks, OB visits and hyperstimulation monitoring are all billed on top, and embryo storage is charged separately from year two onward. Once your plan is set, a designated financial representative issues a written out-of-pocket estimate.

Insurance is verified before your first appointment ends — the clinic attempts benefits confirmation ahead of the visit so you know early what testing and treatment your plan covers. Our sources name no Georgia mandate requiring plans to cover IVF, so assume coverage is plan-specific. Financing runs through Future Family: fixed monthly payments over 3-60 months, with 0% APR options.

Patient Journey

1. Before you arrive: complete the new patient questionnaire, gather prior medical records, and bring the CD or films if you’ve had an HSG
2. First visit: your physician and nurse will already have reviewed your questionnaire and records; expect discussion of medical history, medications, lifestyle factors, menstrual and pregnancy history, and prior fertility treatment, scheduled around where you are in your cycle
3. Testing: additional labs and imaging are timed to your chief concerns; some results return within a day or two, others take 2-3 weeks — you’ll be told which is which and what it means
4. Meet your team: over the first visits you’ll be introduced to your physician, nurse and patient care coordinator, the point of contact for scheduling, records and non-clinical questions
5. Money and insurance: benefits are confirmed before or at your appointment, and your financial representative provides a detailed cost estimate once the plan exists
6. Treatment: stimulation with monitoring at your chosen office, ultrasound-guided retrieval, fertilization and culture in the CCRM Atlanta lab, then transfer — a frozen single embryo transfer after PGT is the typical path here
7. After transfer: pregnancy testing and early follow-up; if a cycle doesn’t work, the team reviews what happened before re-planning. The free weekly support group, counseling and nutritional guidance are open throughout
8. If you’re coming from out of town: routine testing stays local to you, consultations can run by telemedicine, and interpreter services are available; you need to be on-site only for timed procedures

Local Legal Framework

Georgia has no comprehensive assisted-reproduction statute. Our Georgia sources record no state mandate and no statute specific to IVF consent or parentage, so the legal structure around treatment here rests on the agreements you sign with the clinic rather than on a state ART code.

Egg donation is legal, and cycles at ACRM use written donation agreements between donor and recipients. Gestational surrogacy is legal in Georgia and surrogacy agreements are recognized, but our sources do not itemize the conditions that make one enforceable — the step that does not depend on those details is independent legal counsel for intended parents and the carrier before a cycle starts, handled by a Georgia reproductive-law attorney. PGT-A and PGT-M face no state-level restriction. On embryo legal status, Georgia has no statute settling whether embryos are persons or property, which makes the embryo disposition consent you sign at ACRM — covering storage, use and donation — the operative document; read it before your cycle begins.

As a SART member, ACRM reports every cycle’s outcome to SART and the CDC, so its results are public record rather than marketing numbers. Our sources name no Georgia mandate requiring insurance plans to cover fertility treatment; coverage is decided plan by plan.
