2026 Top #8 Fertility Clinic in the US | RMA New Jersey | IVF in Basking Ridge

About RMA New Jersey - Basking Ridge

RMA New Jersey - Basking Ridge is the headquarters office of Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey, at 140 Allen Road. The practice dates itself to 1999 and puts it plainly: “Building Families for over 25 Years.”

What sets this address apart is what shares the building. RMA runs an IVF laboratory, an ambulatory surgical center and a research department on the Basking Ridge campus, so stimulation monitoring, egg retrieval, embryo culture, biopsy and transfer all happen in one place and are handled by RMA’s own embryology team. For a patient mid-cycle that difference is logistical and real: morning bloodwork and an ultrasound at 6:00 am, a retrieval a week later, and a transfer without a second facility or a courier between clinics.

The office also sits inside a large network. RMA New Jersey operates 11 offices and two IVF laboratories across the state, and the practice states the network has helped bring more than 50,000 babies to families. Its clinical staff is described as more than 40 specialists — reproductive endocrinologists, urologists, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons, advanced practice providers, infertility nurses and genetic counselors. Basking Ridge is one of the research sites of IVI RMA Global, which the group describes as the world’s leading institutional investor in fertility research: more than seven research centers, 70 investigators, and over 1,900 scientific publications.

The numbers. SART’s 2023 final report gives this reporting entity a cumulative live birth rate per intended egg retrieval (all transfers) of 65.1% under 35, 54.3% at 35-37, 35.6% at 38-40, and 12.1% over 40. The national figures for the same year were 53.2%, 39.9%, 26.2% and 9.4% (SART 2023 National Summary). Practically: about two out of three patients under 35 who begin an intended retrieval in this network take a baby home, counting every transfer made from that retrieval. The stricter version of the same question — live birth counting only the first transfer — is 49.8% under 35. The network reported 12,633 cycles in 2023, roughly 13.6 times the 932-cycle national per-clinic average, which is why its results carry statistically rather than anecdotal weight.

Two things to know before you compare those numbers with another clinic’s. First, SART and the CDC register RMA New Jersey as a single reporting entity (CDC clinic number 416, SART ClinicPKID 1936, listed at 140 Allen Road). The figures above describe the whole 11-office network, not the Basking Ridge building alone; no separate number set is published for this office. Second, RMA’s own headline marketing number — “81.8% IVF success rate for women under 35” — is live birth per new patient, a different denominator from the 65.1% per intended retrieval. The two are not interchangeable. RMA prints the standard caveat itself: comparing clinic success rates may not be meaningful, because patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches and entry criteria for ART differ from clinic to clinic.

Why Choose RMA New Jersey - Basking Ridge

Nothing leaves the building. Consultation, bloodwork, ultrasound monitoring, retrieval, embryo culture, genetic biopsy, cryopreservation and transfer all occur on one campus, in a lab the clinic operates itself. The ambulatory surgical center on site means reproductive surgery does not require a hospital referral.
Single embryo transfer is the policy, not the option. RMA states that every patient at every RMA clinic receives a single embryo transfer, paired with PGT-A screening of chromosome number before selection. The goal the practice sets is one healthy baby, not the highest possible pregnancy percentage in a single cycle.
Monitoring starts at 6:00 am, including weekends. Eggs are tracked with early-morning ultrasounds and bloodwork, Monday through Friday from 6:00 to 16:30 and Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 to 10:00. Monitoring does not have to happen at the same office each time, and the clinic accepts patients being treated elsewhere who need monitoring while traveling — useful if you are flying in for a cycle.
CareShare ties payment to a live birth. Eligible patients get up to six IVF cycles for one package price, with a 100% refund of the program fee if no live birth results. The practice describes the six-cycle package as costing less than two cycles at standard rates. Your physician must recommend you for the program, and terms and conditions apply.
Male factor infertility is worked up on site. Urologists who specialize in male infertility practice at this office, along with a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, so a semen abnormality does not send the couple to a second practice — and surgical sperm retrieval, vasectomy reversal and varicocelectomy are available without leaving RMA.
Second opinions are solicited. All New Jersey physicians offer IVF second-opinion consultations, specifically aimed at patients who have had failed cycles at another clinic, and telehealth consults are available before you commit to travel.
Every patient is assigned a financial coordinator whose job includes calling your insurer for you, laying out financing, and identifying discount programs — the practical bottleneck in most US IVF cases.

Ovarian tissue freezing is not listed as offered.

Fees & Packages

There is no published price list for a cycle at this clinic. The practice’s own FAQ frames the US market instead: in 2024, a single IVF cycle without insurance ran roughly $14,000 to $20,000, and the final number depends on the center, what is bundled into the cycle, and your coverage. Ask specifically what the quote excludes — medications, PGT-A per embryo, anesthesia, embryo storage fees and frozen transfer cycles are the usual add-ons.

Two things affect the bill more than the base price. New Jersey has a state fertility mandate: group health plans covering more than 50 enrollees must provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, so read your benefits rather than assuming fertility treatment is excluded. And every patient is paired with a financial coordinator who contacts the insurer on your behalf and explains installment and discount programs.

RMA lists participation with Aetna, Amerihealth, Carrot Fertility, Cigna, Gaia, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Lending Club, Maven, Progyny, Qualcare, Stork Club, United Healthcare and WINFertility, and publishes Good Faith Estimate and No Surprises Act protections for patients. The CareShare refund package bundles up to six cycles at a single discounted price with a full refund of the program fee if no live birth occurs; the price itself is not published, and eligibility requires physician recommendation.

Patient Journey

New patient intake: booked by phone or online form, with the office selected by you; the network schedules across all 11 New Jersey locations, and a telehealth first consult is available if you are not local
First consultation: the physician takes your history and your family-building goals, and focuses on how long you have been trying, prior pregnancies, and any previous fertility treatment and how it ended
Testing on the same visit: bloodwork (hormone panel, fertility panel, ovarian reserve, genetic carrier screening) and a full physical examination including transvaginal ultrasound are typically done during that first appointment rather than scheduled separately
Additional imaging if indicated: HSG, saline sonogram or hysteroscopy to look at the uterine cavity and tubes, with the male partner’s sperm source evaluated at the same time rather than afterward
Treatment plan and cost review: options laid out — ovulation induction, IUI, IVF, reproductive surgery, donor eggs, gestational carrier — sometimes across a second consult, with the financial coordinator confirming coverage, financing and CareShare eligibility before medications start
Stimulation and morning monitoring: early-ultrasound and bloodwork appointments from 6:00 am; scheduling and results appear in the Artemis patient portal, and monitoring can be moved to another RMA office or arranged for patients traveling from out of state
Retrieval, culture and transfer: eggs retrieved and fertilized in the on-site lab, embryos cultured to blastocyst, biopsied for PGT-A if elected, and one embryo transferred; cycle records, labs and ultrasound images stay in the portal
Pregnancy test and follow-up, with the same care team reachable through the portal between appointments

Local Legal Framework

Insurance. New Jersey is one of the states with a fertility coverage mandate. Per the clinic’s FAQ, group health policies that cover more than 50 people must provide coverage for the cost of diagnosing and treating infertility, which makes IVF in-scope in New Jersey rather than an automatic exclusion. Coverage still turns on your specific plan; ask the financial coordinator to run the benefits check before you start.

Public outcome reporting. Under the federal Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act of 1992, ART clinics must report their cycles and outcomes to the CDC, and SART publishes the same data. The success rates on this page come from those filings rather than from clinic marketing, and that is why the denominators are stated.

Gestational carriers. The New Jersey Gestational Carrier Agreement Act, signed into law on May 30, 2018, made gestational carrier agreements legally enforceable for the first time in the state, after a 30-year gap following In re Baby M, the 1988 New Jersey Supreme Court decision that rendered traditional (genetic) surrogacy contracts unenforceable. The 2018 law covers gestational pregnancies only, and enforceability is conditional: the carrier must be at least 21 and have had at least one successful prior pregnancy, each side must retain independent legal counsel, the carrier must complete medical and psychological evaluation, and a written agreement must be executed before any IVF procedure begins. The same legislative package amended New Jersey’s artificial insemination parentage provisions to remove the marital-status requirement, so single patients and same-sex couples are covered. RMA states that it works only with carriers located in surrogacy-friendly states so that parentage is established without legal contest — confirm that in writing for your own arrangement.

Egg, sperm and embryo donation. New Jersey has no single comprehensive statute governing gamete and embryo donation, and the clinic’s own page does not cite one. Parentage from donated gametes is handled through the state’s ART and parentage provisions plus contract, which is why the practice directs third-party reproduction patients to attorneys who specialize in it. This page does not supplement the clinic’s stated position with statute numbers it does not itself cite.

Language access. RMA states that numerous physicians and staff speak Spanish and other languages, and offers a free interpreter line covering Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Gujarati, Hindi, Portuguese and more. An on-demand interpreter line is not the same as a resident Mandarin-speaking care team, so confirm how your appointments will be conducted if language support is a deciding factor.

Travel. The office is about 20 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport and under an hour from Manhattan, with several hotels within roughly a mile and a half. The clinic accepts patients from New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and from outside the US.
