Fertility Solutions, operating under the brand Fertility Solutions NE and located at 45 Stergis Way in Dedham, Massachusetts, is the longer-established of two fertility practices occupying professional space at the same Stergis Way address. Patients should note that Terra Fertility — a separate clinical entity with its own physicians, NPI numbers, and brand identity — also operates at 45 Stergis Way. Fertility Solutions NE and Terra Fertility are entirely independent practices; patients should confirm they are engaging with the correct practice by using Fertility Solutions' website (fertilitysolutionsne.com) and verifying their appointment details directly. Massachusetts' comprehensive fertility insurance mandate applies to state-regulated plans at this location. Additional Massachusetts providers can be found through the Massachusetts fertility clinic directory.
Physicians and Clinical Team
Fertility Solutions NE is led by fellowship-trained reproductive endocrinologists with board certification from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the subspecialty of reproductive endocrinology and infertility. As the more established practice at this address, Fertility Solutions has built relationships with the southern Boston patient community and the OB/GYN referral network across Dedham, Norwood, Westwood, Canton, Sharon, Stoughton, and the surrounding area. The physician team's continuity at this practice and location is a meaningful asset for patients who value established relationships and consistent care.
The clinical staff supporting Fertility Solutions includes reproductive nurses who are central to cycle management and patient communication during IUI and IVF cycles, sonographers trained in reproductive ultrasound, embryologists responsible for the laboratory phase of treatment, and administrative coordinators experienced in navigating Massachusetts' insurance mandate requirements. The practice's administrative team is well-versed in the specific documentation, prior authorization, and appeals processes that Massachusetts insurers require for fertility treatment coverage.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Fertility Solutions NE's IVF laboratory operates under Massachusetts Department of Public Health licensing and federal CLIA requirements. The lab handles the full in vitro phase of IVF: egg stripping and grading, fertilization (conventional IVF or ICSI), extended culture to blastocyst stage, blastocyst grading and selection, biopsy for PGT when elected, and vitrification for cryopreservation. Vitrification is the standard method for freezing embryos and eggs, producing post-thaw survival rates that make frozen embryo transfer cycles reliably effective for most patients.
Patients 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 45 Stergis Way location in Dedham is accessible from I-95 (Route 128) at Exit 16A/B — a central transit corridor that connects the southern Boston suburbs including Norwood, Westwood, Canton, Sharon, Stoughton, and Milton. The Stergis Way professional complex is a low-key, accessible clinical setting well-suited for a practice where patients are navigating emotionally demanding circumstances. For patients in West Roxbury, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, or other Boston neighborhoods to the north, the Dedham location is typically a 15–25 minute drive.
As the more established practice at this address, Fertility Solutions NE has a track record of working with the patient community in this part of greater Boston — including referral relationships with area OB/GYNs, access to the Boston IVF and reproductive endocrinology network, and familiarity with the logistics of providing fertility care in a competitive, mandate-covered market. The southern Boston suburbs draw a diverse working population, and Fertility Solutions' patient base reflects this diversity.
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
Massachusetts' infertility insurance mandate is one of the strongest in the United States. Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 175, Section 47H, state-regulated health insurers covering employers with more than 25 employees must cover medically necessary fertility treatment — including IVF, IUI, GIFT, ZIFT, and other ART procedures. This means that for qualifying Massachusetts patients, the primary cost of fertility treatment may be largely covered, reducing the financial barrier that exists in most other states.
Fertility Solutions NE's administrative team has extensive experience with the Massachusetts mandate's requirements, including the documentation needed for prior authorization, the appeals process when claims are denied, and the coordination with various major Massachusetts insurers (BCBS, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts Health, Fallon). Patients whose employers self-insure under federal ERISA law may not receive the mandate's protections — patients in this situation should verify their plan's fertility coverage terms directly with their employer or insurer. For those without adequate coverage, financial counseling, pharmaceutical assistance programs, and third-party healthcare financing are available pathways.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Fertility Solutions different from Terra Fertility, which is also at 45 Stergis Way? These are two entirely separate medical practices that happen to occupy professional space within the same building at 45 Stergis Way, Dedham. Fertility Solutions NE is the longer-established practice at this address and operates under its own physician team, NPI numbers, billing entity, and brand. Terra Fertility is a distinct, separately owned and operated practice. Patients should contact each practice individually and should not assume their records, appointments, or billing are shared between the two.
What does the Massachusetts infertility mandate cover specifically? The mandate covers medically necessary fertility treatment for patients who have been diagnosed with infertility, including IVF, IUI, GIFT, ZIFT, and embryo cryopreservation. It applies to state-regulated health insurance plans for employers with 26 or more employees. Coverage is subject to standard plan terms including deductibles, copayments, and any annual or lifetime maximums in the plan. Patients should obtain a copy of their plan's Evidence of Coverage document and confirm their fertility benefits before beginning treatment.
Does the mandate cover egg freezing for fertility preservation? Social egg freezing (elective fertility preservation without a medical diagnosis) is not typically covered under the Massachusetts mandate, as it is not classified as medically necessary treatment for infertility. However, egg freezing performed as part of an IVF cycle — for example, if embryos cannot be transferred fresh and are banked for a frozen cycle — is typically covered. Oncofertility egg freezing for cancer patients may qualify for coverage as a medical necessity depending on the plan.
What is the process for getting started at Fertility Solutions? New patients typically begin with a phone or online inquiry through fertilitysolutionsne.com, which leads to an initial consultation scheduling process. At the first visit, the physician reviews the patient's history, orders baseline testing (bloodwork and ultrasound), and may include a semen analysis for the male partner if applicable. A treatment plan is developed after reviewing the results, and the team assists with insurance verification and prior authorization in parallel.
