Washington Fertility Center is a reproductive medicine practice located at 4 Atlantic Street SW in Washington, DC, operating under the website washingtonfertility.com. The clinic serves patients from across the District of Columbia and the broader Washington metro area — including Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax County) and Maryland (Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and communities along the I-270 and I-95 corridors). Washington, DC is a city of policy professionals, federal employees, defense contractors, international development workers, and a large and diverse resident population; the fertility patient community reflects this range. The DC Directory of fertility providers is available for patients researching their options at the DC state directory.
Note on entity name: The NPI directory associates the "Breast Care for Washington" entity name with this address — reflecting the corporate entity registration name, which differs from the public-facing clinical practice name of Washington Fertility Center. Patients researching this clinic by address (4 Atlantic Street SW) or by clinical name (Washington Fertility Center / washingtonfertility.com) will find the same practice regardless of the entity name variation.
Physicians and Clinical Team
Washington Fertility Center is led by physicians with training and experience in reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

The billing and administrative team can clarify the NPI and SART reporting name to facilitate accurate data lookup.
Patient Experience
The 4 Atlantic Street SW address places Washington Fertility Center in the Southwest Waterfront / Capitol Riverfront quadrant of DC — an area that has undergone substantial development in recent years. Southwest DC is close to the National Mall, Capitol Hill, and the Southwest/Waterfront Metrorail stations (Green and Yellow lines), making it accessible from across DC and its Maryland and Virginia suburbs via Metro. The neighborhood's revitalization has brought new residential buildings, restaurants, and amenities to an area that was previously more industrial, and the patient experience of coming to this location has improved along with the neighborhood.
DC's unique demographic of internationally mobile professionals, government workers, embassies, and development organizations means that the fertility patient community includes people from an extraordinarily diverse range of national, cultural, and professional backgrounds. Washington Fertility Center serves patients from this entire spectrum, and the clinical team's experience with diverse patient needs is an asset.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Washington, DC does not have a state fertility insurance mandate. Despite its proximity to Maryland (which has an infertility insurance mandate) and its own progressive policy environment, DC has not enacted a standalone fertility insurance mandate. Patients at Washington Fertility Center are responsible for out-of-pocket fertility treatment costs unless they have employer-sponsored fertility benefits.
DC's federal government employer base is significant — federal employees covered by FEHB plans may have access to some fertility diagnostic coverage, though IVF coverage under FEHB has historically been limited. Some federal employees have pursued legislative advocacy to expand fertility coverage through FEHB. Large private employers in DC — law firms, international NGOs, consulting firms, and tech companies — vary considerably in voluntary fertility benefits. The District's Medicaid program does not cover IVF. Patients without coverage should ask Washington Fertility Center's financial team about current pricing, payment plans, and third-party financing options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the NPI entity name "Breast Care for Washington" for what appears to be a fertility clinic? NPI (National Provider Identifier) entity names in the federal provider registry sometimes reflect an older or alternative corporate name under which a practice was originally registered, or a parent entity that encompasses multiple service lines. The clinical practice operating at 4 Atlantic Street SW under the Washington Fertility Center brand (washingtonfertility.com) is a fertility practice, regardless of the NPI entity name. Patients confirming insurance participation should verify both the NPI number and entity name with the billing team to ensure accurate coverage verification.
Is Washington Fertility Center accessible by Metro? Yes. Southwest DC is served by the Waterfront station (Green Line) and the L'Enfant Plaza station (Green, Yellow, Orange, Silver, Blue lines), both within a manageable walk or short bus ride from Atlantic Street SW. Metro accessibility is a meaningful advantage for DC patients who commute via public transit and need to attend frequent monitoring appointments during treatment cycles.
Does Washington Fertility Center serve patients from Northern Virginia and Maryland? Yes. The DC metro area fertility patient community crosses state lines. Patients from Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax County in Virginia, and from Montgomery and Prince George's counties in Maryland, regularly seek care at DC fertility practices. The Metro system connects these communities with downtown DC, and patients commuting by car can access the Southwest quadrant via I-395 and I-295.
What is the DC fertility treatment landscape like overall? Washington, DC has multiple fertility practices serving the metro area, including both independent clinics and national network affiliates. The proximity to academic medical centers in Maryland (University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins) and Virginia (Inova, VCU) also gives DC-area patients access to academic-level fertility programs. Patients are encouraged to consult with a few providers to find the right clinical and personal fit before committing to treatment.
