Drug plan coverage

Whether fertility medications are paid by a public or private drug plan.

Canadian healthcare & funding

Fertility drugs are a large share of total cost. Public drug plans rarely cover them outside specific provincial arrangements, while private plans often do, subject to a maximum. Ask the pharmacy for the exact product names and Drug Identification Numbers so your insurer can confirm coverage before you buy.

Also known as: medication coverage, DIN, drug benefit
