What Is SART? 

What is SART

SART is the primary organization of professionals dedicated
to the practice of IVF, or assisted reproductive technology (ART).  The
organization represents the majority of the ART clinics in the country.  The
mission of SART is to establish and maintain standards for ART so that you
receive the highest possible level of care. 

IVF outcomes
reporting.  SART
reports birth outcome data from its
member clinics.  This provides reliable information for patients to make
informed decisions and understand the likelihood of success with different

Sets
guidelines for best practices in the field of ART.  As a requirement for membership our member infertility treatment centers must
adhere to the highest standards in ART.  SART also holds all of its members to
strict standards regarding advertising in order to better serve the
public. 

Patient advocacy and regulatory review.  We
play a significant role in interacting with members of Congress and their staff
regarding pending legislation which may have a direct impact on our practice. 
SART has been able to network effectively in a small-group setting with leaders
of consumer groups, professional organizations, and government agencies to
exchange ideas and share information and concerns on an ongoing basis.  Most
major insurance companies look to SART as centers of excellence.  In fact, many
insurance companies will only provide coverage at SART member centers. 

Quality
assurance. SART has played a major role as an
advocate in providing consultation in an effort to improve quality practice. 
SART has initiated a voluntary consultation program, which in IVF practice can
obtain assistance for volunteer clinicians and laboratory directors.  These
consultations are carried out confidentially and in a collegial spirit to
improve the quality of patient care.
