How much does in vitro cost in Canada? Does Medicare cover it? Does ANY insurance cover it?

Question

My doctor told me that I cannot have kids, and the wait for adoption is 8-10 years. I am depressed because I might not get the chance to be a mother. Any information would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You could adopt from overseas. No, it doesn't get covered by Medicare. In vitro is not medically necessary. It is like asking if it will cover plastic surgery.

Answer 2

I think some insurance companies might cover part of it  If you have a MD say you have no other options.. couldn't tell you who.. In vetro cost upwards of about $45000 a cycle in US and only has about a 10 percent chance of conception. Medicare pays only necessary  things. they don't even dental..even if you have major infection going into bloodstream so they will never cover non essentials. I would find a MD who does that procedure and go to their office and ask them about that..they would know who covers what.
