Interprovincial travel for treatment

Travelling to another province for fertility care.

Canadian healthcare & funding

Patients often travel because of clinic availability, waiting times or funding rules. Check whether a provincial programme requires residency, how monitoring can be shared with a local clinic or laboratory, and what travel and accommodation will cost. Winter travel in much of Canada needs a contingency plan for cancelled flights around fixed appointments such as retrieval.

Also known as: travelling for IVF, out-of-province treatment, satellite monitoring
