We cross-reference each clinic's public marketing against its published refund/AMH eligibility gates and SART reporting basis — and surface the contradictions in plain English, before you spend $23,000 finding out the hard way.

67–76% of US fertility clinic websites advertise inclusive DOR care while their own shared-risk refund programs require AMH ≥ 2.5 ng/mL — a bar most DOR patients don't clear. SART won't tell you this. We will.
The problem
Every marketing page looks the same. The differences that actually matter — the ones that predict whether your cycle will be cancelled, whether you'll qualify for a refund, and how honestly they're counting their own success — are buried in fine print or never published at all.
Clinic websites use phrases like "we don't turn away DOR patients." Their own shared-risk program requires AMH ≥ 2.5 — you can still cycle, you just can't get your money back if it fails.
A clinic reporting "per retrieval" looks better than one reporting "per cycle start" — but only because cancelled poor-responder cycles never enter the denominator.
SART data shows DOR cycle-cancellation rates vary 3× across top clinics. A clinic with a 22% cancellation rate charges the same consult fee as one with 7%.
Sample teardown
Patient profile: Age 38, AMH 0.6 ng/mL, FSH 14 mIU/mL. Seeking own-egg IVF.
"We believe every patient deserves the chance to build their family. Our team has extensive experience with diminished ovarian reserve." — clinic homepage
"To enroll in the Shared Risk Program, patients must have: AMH ≥ 1.5 ng/mL or antral follicle count ≥ 8." — clinic refund program PDF
Tell: Your AMH of 0.6 is 2.5× below this clinic's own published refund gate. You can still cycle here — but you cannot get your money back if it fails, despite the "we take DOR patients" messaging.
How it works
Every tell is anchored in a dated public document — so you can verify it yourself.
Reporting basis (per-retrieval vs. per-cycle-start), cycle-cancellation rate for low-responders, and age-band outcomes.
Dated snapshots of what they promise about poor responders, "individualized protocols," and financial risk-sharing.
The actual AMH/FSH thresholds from their shared-risk documents — what determines whether your profile qualifies.
We apply your AMH and FSH numbers to each source, so the tells are about you at this clinic — not a generic patient.

Why this matters
Common questions
Every tell is anchored in a dated public document — a clinic's own website, their published refund program PDF, or the SART CORS database. We only report what a clinic has already said publicly, and we source it.
We start with the 20 highest-volume US clinics by SART cycle count. If your clinic isn't listed, the free teardown form will show you which of the 20 are closest to your location.
SART publishes aggregate data but explicitly says it "should not be used for comparing clinics." FertilityIQ has patient reviews but never cross-references them with SART data or refund terms. The specific contradiction — marketing language vs. published AMH gate vs. your AMH — isn't assembled anywhere else.
DOR patients often do 2–3 cycles. After a failed cycle, the tells that matter change. The $39 report includes one free re-run of your shortlist analysis after a failed cycle.
