Fees & Funding
As of December 2015, the Ontario government removed intrauterine insemination (IUI) from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) fee schedule and created a new fertility treatment program to assist families with the costs of assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
In order increase access to the ART service of IUI, the Province is contributing to the cost of IUI services in order to improve affordability. People will continue to pay the cost of the associated drugs, as well as other unfunded ancillary services delivered in support of IUI, including sperm washing and preparation, the purchasing of donor sperm, and genetic testing.
