CCRM Fertility's New Jersey location formerly known as the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science (IRMS) is at 2 Hospital Plz, Suite 340, Old Bridge Township, NJ 08857, in Middlesex County. The practice is accessible from the Garden State Parkway and Route 9, serving patients from Old Bridge, Sayreville, South Brunswick, and the broader central New Jersey corridor. The practice website is at ccrmivf.com/location/us/new-jersey/old-bridge, and the clinic holds a 4.2-star rating across 36 reviews. IRMS was historically affiliated with Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, NJ — one of the most recognized fertility programs in the Northeast — before being incorporated into the CCRM Fertility network. The practice is listed among New Jersey fertility clinics. New Jersey has a comprehensive infertility insurance mandate, which significantly shapes the financial landscape for most insured patients at this location.
The transition from the IRMS/Saint Barnabas identity to CCRM branding represents a significant change in the institutional character of this clinic. IRMS had a decades-long reputation in New Jersey as an academically affiliated, high-volume ART program. CCRM's acquisition brought the location into a national network with standardized laboratory protocols and quality benchmarks, while the Old Bridge physical address continues to serve central New Jersey patients.
Physicians and Clinical Team
CCRM / IRMS Old Bridge is staffed by reproductive endocrinologists who hold ABOG board certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. CCRM's network physician model allows physicians to coordinate with colleagues across CCRM locations while maintaining consistent clinical protocols. SART participation requires annual submission of ART cycle data for independent review and public reporting.
The IRMS program under Saint Barnabas was known for deep physician expertise and a high volume of complex cases. Patients who are selecting a physician at the CCRM/IRMS Old Bridge location should confirm current physician assignments, as transitions associated with the acquisition may have affected the physician roster. Clinical staff include cycle coordinator nurses and embryologists supporting in-house embryology services. Patients new to IVF can review our guide to IVF treatment before their first consultation.

Laboratory and Success Rates
The CCRM network is known for investment in laboratory infrastructure and standardization. The Old Bridge location's IVF laboratory operates under CCRM's quality standards, covering ICSI, blastocyst culture, trophectoderm biopsy, PGT coordination with reference genetics laboratories, vitrification, and embryo warming for frozen transfers.
Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
The transition from IRMS to CCRM means that older SART data published under the IRMS/Saint Barnabas registration may not be directly comparable to current CCRM Old Bridge data. Patients should confirm which SART reporting entity reflects the current clinical program and focus on the most recent data cycle.
Patient Experience
Patient reviews of this location span both the IRMS and CCRM periods, and expectations are shaped accordingly. Patients who were established under the IRMS/Saint Barnabas program and transitioned to CCRM describe varying experiences depending on how much physician and staff continuity was preserved through the acquisition. New patients approaching the location under the CCRM brand should evaluate it on its current clinical team and protocols rather than on the historical IRMS reputation alone.
The Old Bridge address on Hospital Plz is in a medical campus environment adjacent to Community Medical Center, which provides a familiar healthcare setting context. The central New Jersey location is accessible from the Garden State Parkway and Route 9, drawing patients from Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean County communities who might otherwise travel to the Livingston or Millburn area for the historical IRMS location.
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 Jersey has a comprehensive infertility insurance mandate. Under N.J.S.A. 17B:27-46.1x and related provisions, fully insured group health plans delivered in New Jersey must cover the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, including IVF. Coverage extends to four IVF cycles per patient. Same-sex couples are covered under the New Jersey mandate. The New Jersey mandate also requires coverage of fertility preservation for patients facing iatrogenic infertility from medical treatment.
Important limitations: self-funded ERISA plans are not required to comply with state mandates, federal employee plans and Medicaid may have different terms, and the mandate applies to plans delivered in New Jersey. Patients should verify whether their specific plan is a fully insured New Jersey plan or a self-funded ERISA plan before relying on mandate coverage. CCRM/IRMS financial coordinators assist with benefit verification and prior authorization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to IRMS's affiliation with Saint Barnabas Medical Center? IRMS (Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science) was historically affiliated with Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, NJ. The IRMS program was acquired by and rebranded under the CCRM Fertility network. Patients who were established under the Saint Barnabas/IRMS program and seek continuity should contact the Old Bridge location directly to understand which physicians have continued from the prior program.
Is CCRM's laboratory approach different from IRMS's? CCRM is known for a standardized, data-driven laboratory approach including broad adoption of PGT-A and frozen embryo transfer protocols. IRMS's approach was shaped by its academic medical center affiliation. The current CCRM Old Bridge laboratory operates under CCRM's network standards, which may differ from historical IRMS protocols.
Does New Jersey's infertility mandate cover same-sex couples? Yes. New Jersey's mandate covers same-sex couples and does not require a specified period of failed attempts to conceive through intercourse for couples or individuals who cannot conceive through intercourse by nature of their sexual orientation or relationship structure. The documentation required to establish coverage eligibility may vary by insurer; confirming the specific prior authorization criteria with your insurer before beginning treatment is advisable.
