About
The UPMC Magee-Womens Center for Fertility and Reproductive Endocrinology (CFRE) sits in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, inside UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital. The hospital has served women’s health for more than a century and is recognized as a National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health.
The center provides the full spectrum of infertility services for both men and women, including semen analysis, ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy support, with treatment decisions made together with each couple. On volume and outcomes: the SART 2023 final report credits 1,203 ART cycles to UPMC Magee’s SART registration entity, which covers all of the system’s reproductive sites — 300 Halket Street in Oakland, Penn Hills and Hermitage — not this address on its own. In that same report, live birth rates per intended egg retrieval ran 56.2% for patients under 35, 43.9% for ages 35-37, and 34.0% for ages 38-40.

There is no published price list for ART cycles at the UPMC Magee-Womens Center for Fertility and Reproductive Endocrinology in our sources. UPMC runs a hospital-wide price transparency page, but it does not itemize IVF, IUI, egg/embryo freezing, or fertility-preservation packages for this center.
Patient Journey
- Initial consultation: book online through the UPMC website or by calling the center; referrals accepted.
- Comprehensive evaluation: medical history, hormone and semen testing, and ultrasound to identify the cause of infertility.
- Treatment planning: physicians work with each couple to design an IUI, IVF or fertility preservation plan based on diagnosis and age.
- Cycle monitoring: ovarian stimulation, ultrasound and hormone monitoring throughout the cycle, with embryology and PGT performed in the on-site lab.
- Embryo transfer and follow-up: pregnancy testing after transfer, with ongoing obstetric care through the Magee-Womens system.
Local Legal Framework
Pennsylvania has no statutory prohibition on assisted reproductive technology; IVF and fertility preservation are legally available in the state. Surrogacy agreements are supported under Pennsylvania case law. Egg and embryo donation must comply with FDA tissue regulations and ASRM ethical guidelines. Pennsylvania does not mandate commercial insurance coverage of IVF; coverage depends on the employer-sponsored plan.
