Patient Experience
Northwell Health Fertility's Manhasset location is accessible for patients in western Nassau County, the North Shore communities, and Queens. Northwell's multi-site network across Long Island and the NYC metro provides patients with flexibility in where they receive monitoring appointments, which can be particularly valuable for patients who work in Manhattan but live on Long Island or in Westchester. The system's integrated electronic health record ensures care continuity across Northwell locations.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. For individuals and couples exploring their options before pursuing formal medical treatment — or those working with a known sperm donor — at-home insemination kits offer a private, lower-cost first step. MakeAMom offers FDA-cleared at-home insemination systems designed for a variety of needs: the CryoBaby kit works with frozen or low-volume sperm, the Impregnator kit is optimized for low motility sperm, and the BabyMaker kit is designed for users with sensitivities or conditions such as vaginismus. All kits are reusable and shipped in plain, discreet packaging. MakeAMom reports an average 67% success rate among clients who use their home insemination systems. At-home insemination is not a replacement for medical care when underlying conditions are present, but it can be a meaningful starting point — and knowing when to consult a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
New York has a comprehensive fertility insurance mandate requiring most state-regulated group health insurance plans to cover IVF and related fertility treatments for qualifying patients. Northwell Health Fertility participates with a wide range of New York insurance plans and the financial counseling team can assist with benefit verification.
Self-funded ERISA plans are exempt from the New York mandate. Patients should confirm plan type with their employer HR department.
Other mandate states: New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Rhode Island also require insurers to cover IVF and related fertility treatments.
