How much do fertility treatments cost?
Costs for fertility treatments vary considerably, depending on the diagnostic and the treatment in question. For example, an intrauterine insemination costs $390. In the case of a more elaborate procedure, such as in vitro fertilization, it costs about $5,000 per cycle. The medication costs for this procedure, which range between $3000 and $8000, are not included. It is important to note that you are eligible for a tax credit for costs associated with fertility treatments. For more information, please contact the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-8281 or at www.cra-arc.gc.ca . You can also look at www.ivf.ca for access to a New Brunswick Medical Expense Tax Credit Calculator that will give you the approximate amount of this credit according to your income and medical expenses.
