Let’s get OriginElle Ottawa Fertility Clinic added to the government-funded list
The Issue
Fertility treatments are not only a mental and emotional roller coaster, they are EXTREMELY expensive!! The Ontario Fertility Program, regulated by our Provincial Government currently offers ONE funded treatment per person (with valid OHIP coverage).
Currently, they do not recognize OriginElle Ottawa as one of the qualified fertility clinics to receive funding in Ontario. Without it, and with no projected date with when this could change, it has left SO many deserving people who so desperately want a family, waiting and waiting, working hard to financially prepare to cover their entire treatment costs (as many private insurance companies also don’t cover the cost of anything related to fertility). This is so unfair!!!
OriginElle Ottawa would be able to make so many dreams come true should it be approved as one of the funded clinics. Considering it is only the second clinic in Ottawa, the need in our city for support is HUGE. Just by helping cover the cost of ONE treatment, that might very well be the difference of someone having a child or not. Money should NOT be a barrier for anyone who so desires to become a parent and start/continue a family!!
PLEASE note, OriginElle Ottawa is LGBTQ + friendly and 3rd party treatment (for both donor egg and sperm) is one of the services provided, we do not discriminate against sexual orientation.
