Private insurance and fertility benefits

Employer or personal insurance that may cover fertility drugs or treatment.

Canadian healthcare & funding

Many Canadian workplace plans cover fertility medications up to a lifetime maximum, and a growing number cover treatment cycles. Check the drug plan maximum, whether it is lifetime or annual, prior authorisation rules, and whether the plan covers surrogacy or donor-related costs. Ask your plan administrator in writing, and get pre-authorisation before starting.

Also known as: extended health benefits, workplace benefits, group insurance
