Ivf covered by insurance in canada???

[ourfate]

does anyone know if any insurances cover any cost for IVF/ICSI treatments in canada?

Quebec does. I believe Ontario will fund one IVF cycle if it's due to blocked tubes? Manitoba has a tax credit for it. As for all the other provinces, nada.

I'm lucky to have great med coverage that if we had to go the IVF route that at least that $5000 worth of drugs will be considerably less.

Yeah I know ohip covers 3 ivf if you have blocked tubes, my hunny has insurance through his work and hope they can cover some

Wow, 3 cycles is awesome. Really wish Alberta would get with the program. Even if they just start by funding IVF for those with blocked tubes. That would be huge.

Ontario will cover a portion of IVF and that is only if your tubes are both blocked. They cover $3000 and my clinic charges $5800. That's not including drugs or other charges like sperm washing...

thanks, can you answer another question for me, i see people on here who the 1st attempt failed and go on to a second, is it 5800 each cycle you try?

I'm not really sure. I'm just going by a chart on the fertility clinics website.

Just in case you want to look

Oh yeah now I remember you lol. I have no idea how they work. I just hope it doesn't come to that. I am going there tomorrow for an ultrasound and then I have my second appointment to go over my tests next week.

Who is your doctor? Mine is dr. Ewaschuk and I love him.

I'm going in today aswell my appt is 8:10 and my
Dr is dr lee. I haven't got to that point either, but I like to know how everything works so if it comes to that I know. I know it isn't a great way to think, but I can't help it lol

My appointment was at 740. I got there around 730 got my blood done and had my ultrasound and then was out of there by 815ish. I just missed you lol.

This is my first month going to the clinic, so I have to go see doctor E next week to go over all of my tests. They have all come back normal so far. However, Dr. E did say once that my follicle was growing slowly, but I ovulated yesterday.

I really hope that you don't need IVF or any other expensive treatment. FX'd you get your BFP soon.
