Cohen Medical Practice: Midtown Gynecology Top OBGYN Doctors is located at 161 Madison Ave, Suite 9NW, in New York, New York. This Midtown Manhattan address sits between 32nd and 33rd Streets near the Penn Station, Murray Hill, and Kips Bay medical corridor, which is home to a dense concentration of physician practices and medical offices. Cohen Medical Practice offers gynecologic care in Midtown Manhattan, one of the most accessible locations in the five boroughs via Penn Station, the 6 train, and the B/D/F/M/N/Q/R/W subway lines. New York State mandates fertility insurance coverage for most large-group fully-insured health plans, covering IVF including up to three egg retrieval cycles, which significantly reduces out-of-pocket fertility costs for most Manhattan patients with employer-sponsored insurance.

Physicians and Clinical Team

Cohen Medical Practice is a physician-led gynecology practice based in Midtown Manhattan. The practice name suggests a physician founder (Dr. Cohen) or a founding family-named entity with an established patient base. Midtown Manhattan gynecology practices in this corridor often serve a mix of office workers, Murray Hill and Kips Bay residents, and commuters from New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester, and the outer boroughs who prefer a central, transit-accessible practice. Specific physician credentials, board certifications, and areas of clinical focus should be confirmed directly with the practice.

Services and Treatments

  • Comprehensive gynecologic care (annual exams, Pap smears, STI screening)
  • Menstrual cycle evaluation and management
  • PCOS evaluation and management
  • Endometriosis evaluation and medical management
  • Hormonal disorder evaluation
  • Contraception counseling and management (IUDs, implants, oral contraceptives)
  • Fertility evaluation (ovarian reserve testing, hormone panels)
  • Minimally invasive gynecologic procedures as available
  • Cervical cancer screening and colposcopy
  • Menopause and perimenopause management
  • STI testing and treatment

Laboratory and Success Rates

Cohen Medical Practice: Midtown Gynecology is a gynecologic practice, not an ART clinic. It does not operate an IVF laboratory. Fertility-relevant diagnostics—hormone panels, AMH, pelvic ultrasound—can be ordered and managed at the practice level. If evaluation indicates a need for IUI, IVF, or subspecialty reproductive endocrinology care, the practice would coordinate a referral to an REI in the New York metropolitan area. Manhattan has many world-class reproductive endocrinology practices.

Patients who proceed to ART should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.

Patient Experience

The 161 Madison Ave address in Murray Hill is one of the best-served transit corridors in Manhattan, offering access via Penn Station (LIRR, NJ Transit, Amtrak, A/C/E/1/2/3 subway), the 6 train (33rd St), and multiple crosstown buses. This makes Cohen Medical Practice accessible to commuters from New Jersey, Long Island, and the outer boroughs, as well as Manhattan residents in Murray Hill, Kips Bay, Gramercy, and Midtown East. The Madison Avenue medical corridor is home to a wide range of specialty practices.

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

New York State mandates fertility insurance coverage under Insurance Law §3221(k)(6) and §4303(s). Most large-group fully-insured health plans are required to cover IVF for patients who meet eligibility criteria, including up to three egg retrieval cycles. Self-insured employer plans (ERISA) are exempt. Standard gynecologic care including annual exams, Pap smears, and contraception management are covered under most commercial health plans subject to copays and deductibles. Fertility diagnostic testing—such as AMH and ovarian reserve panels—may be covered under a diagnostic benefit depending on plan terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a Midtown Manhattan gynecology practice convenient for New York patients? Midtown Manhattan is one of the most transit-rich locations in the United States, with easy access from Penn Station, Grand Central, and multiple subway lines. A Midtown gynecology practice is practical for patients who commute through Penn Station from New Jersey or Long Island, as well as patients working in Midtown offices who prefer to see a physician close to work.

Does New York State cover fertility diagnosis and treatment under insurance? Yes. New York's fertility insurance mandate (effective January 1, 2020) requires most large-group fully-insured health plans to cover fertility diagnosis and treatment including IVF. Coverage may require prior authorization and proof of a defined period of attempting conception. Self-insured employer plans are not subject to the state mandate.

How do I get a referral to an REI from this practice? After a gynecologic evaluation, if fertility testing indicates a need for subspecialty care, your gynecologist can provide a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist. Manhattan has many REI practices; your insurance plan's network may guide which specialists are in-network.

Does Cohen Medical Practice offer telehealth consultations? Many Midtown Manhattan physician practices added telehealth capabilities in recent years. Confirm directly with Cohen Medical Practice whether virtual appointments are available for initial consultations or follow-up care.
