That is correct, however, OHIP does partially cover an IVF if the procedure has to be done due to other circumstances. For instance, an IUI conversion to IVF is covered for 1/2 the IVF cost. This is when its non-elective, such as when your IUI cycle produces multiple viable follies and the risk of high order multiples is high. OHIP would rather cover you to do an IVF and have less kids, than to pay for your High risk pregnancy and your preemies when they are born. Then the other half you can claim on your taxes!!
