Everyone’s fertility journey will be different, which means there is no standard cost for fertility treatment.
Scheduling a consultation and undergoing assessment are essential steps to uncover your fertility needs and the corresponding potential costs of your specific treatment plan.
- In BC, your consultation with a fertility specialist, as well as most tests for infertility, are covered by the provincial health plan (MSP) with a referral
- Many fertility treatments are not publicly funded (non-insured)
- Medication required during your treatment may be covered by a third-party insurer and you are encouraged to contact your insurer directly to determine your individual eligibility
