In the News – Quebec Inundated with IVF Requests

Monday, August 9th, 2010

As we’ve blogged about before, Quebec is now covering up to three rounds of IVF treatment for its citizens.

This IVF program, which is federally funded and the first of its kind in Canada, has received a great deal of press.  It’s also generated interest from would-be participants, so much so that Quebec doctors and clinics who practice in the area of reproductive health science have been inundated with requests.  (Note:  The program officially started on August 1.)

Many in Quebec are concerned that the demand for this free IVF treatment outweighs what can be supplied at this point; however, the government feels that it will eventually be able to meet the needs of the Quebec citizens.

We’ll keep tabs on the outcomes of this program and deliver more news as it becomes available…

  • Infertility News to Know – Quebec Offering Government-Funded Fertility Treatments

    What’s new in infertilitynews around the inter-webs?  Check out one item that’s been stealing headlines for the past week:

    Quebec to Pay for IVF Treatments

    The Canadian province of Quebec has passed a law that goes into effect later this summer and gives couples the option of getting government funded assistance to pay for their fertility treatments. 

    The law states that Quebec will pay for three rounds of fertility treatments for Quebec citizens.  It’s estimated that up to 10,000 Quebec couples are eligible to take advantage of this government funded program.

    In America, fertility treatments are not covered by insurance plans; however, many fertility clinics try to keep their rates as reasonable as possible to help individuals and couples achieve their dreams of having children. 

    At RSI, we understand the importance of this kind of financial responsiveness and always aim to provide the most valuable service at a competitive rate.  We will continue to offer the most cost-effective, safe and proven methods for our patients.
