InVia Fertility is a multi-location Illinois fertility practice with a Northbrook location serving patients in Chicago's north and northwest suburbs, including Highland Park, Deerfield, Glenview, Wilmette, Evanston, Skokie, and communities along the North Shore. InVia Fertility was founded by Dr. Angeline Beltsos and has grown into one of the Chicago metropolitan area's more prominent independent fertility programs, known for a physician-first, patient-centered care model. The Northbrook location gives North Shore and northern Cook County patients a high-quality fertility option close to home, reducing the commute burden during monitoring-intensive IVF cycles. Illinois has one of the most comprehensive IVF insurance mandates in the country, which significantly expands treatment access for most Illinois residents.

Physicians and Clinical Team
InVia Fertility's clinical team includes board-certified reproductive endocrinologists and infertility specialists who practice across the network's multiple Chicago-area locations. InVia has published fertility-related patient education content extensively and is known for physician engagement in patient advocacy and education. The practice conducts comprehensive initial evaluations including ovarian reserve assessment (AMH, antral follicle count), uterine evaluation (sonohysterogram or HSG), hormonal workup, and semen analysis. Patients at the Northbrook location should ask which physicians see patients there specifically, whether the same physician manages care throughout the cycle, and how monitoring results are communicated.

Laboratory and Success Rates
InVia Fertility's embryology laboratory supports IVF cycles across its network locations. Patients evaluating InVia Northbrook should ask about ICSI fertilization rates, blastocyst development rates, and vitrification survival statistics for frozen embryo transfers. InVia has been transparent about patient education, and prospective patients should feel comfortable asking the clinical team for detailed laboratory quality data during their consultation.
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
InVia Fertility's Northbrook location is convenient for North Shore residents who value proximity to home during monitoring-intensive IVF cycles. Early-morning monitoring appointments happen daily or near-daily during stimulation, and for a patient in Northbrook, Highland Park, or Deerfield, a 10-minute drive to the clinic is far preferable to a 45-minute commute into Chicago. InVia has a reputation for physician-centric care — patients are encouraged to ask questions and engage deeply with their treatment protocol. The practice's online patient education resources (including its fertility blog) reflect a commitment to informed patient engagement. Independent Google reviews provide additional current perspectives on the Northbrook location's patient experience.
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
Illinois requires insurers covering 25 or more employees to provide fertility treatment coverage including IVF. This mandate is among the broadest in the United States and applies to most Illinois employers of meaningful size. Patients should confirm their plan's specific terms — including the number of covered IVF cycles, embryo cryopreservation coverage, and any age or diagnosis requirements — with their insurer or HR department. For patients without adequate coverage, InVia Fertility's financial team can outline pricing and multi-cycle options. Third-party fertility financing and HSA/FSA funds are also available for eligible expenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are InVia Fertility's other Chicago-area locations besides Northbrook? InVia Fertility operates multiple locations across the Chicago metropolitan area. In addition to Northbrook, the practice has offices in Chicago, Hoffman Estates, and other suburban communities. Patients can use the location most convenient for their monitoring appointments.
Does InVia Fertility offer a shared-risk or refund IVF program? Ask the InVia financial team directly whether they offer multi-cycle shared-risk pricing. Terms and eligibility criteria for such programs (which typically require patients to meet certain age and ovarian reserve thresholds) vary by practice and change over time.
How do I confirm that InVia Fertility participates in my insurance network? Contact InVia Fertility's billing department directly with your insurance ID and confirm whether the practice is in-network with your specific plan. For Illinois patients covered by the state mandate, pre-authorization is typically required before beginning a treatment cycle — ask the billing team to assist with this process.
Can I choose which InVia physician I see at the Northbrook location? Yes, ask the practice which physicians see patients at the Northbrook location and whether you can request a specific physician for your consultation and subsequent cycle. InVia emphasizes physician continuity, but confirm the specific arrangement for your location.
