Proximity Advantage
Tijuana is directly across the border from San Diego and reachable from Los Angeles and the Inland Empire within a few hours by car. Proximity supports the multi-visit monitoring rhythm IVF requires.
Border Logistics
- SENTRI / Ready Lanes can significantly reduce northbound crossing times.
- CBX (Cross Border Xpress) offers direct pedestrian access to Tijuana International Airport.
- Plan monitoring appointments around predictable low-traffic windows where possible.
Records Coordination
Bring recent California-based records (ovarian reserve testing, hormonal panels, imaging). Confirm with the receiving clinic how updated records will be shared with your California OB/GYN for pregnancy follow-up.
Cost and Insurance
California group plans vary widely in IVF coverage; most exclude international treatment. HSA/FSA eligibility for international medical care depends on your plan — confirm before assuming reimbursement.
