The cost of most fertility treatments and medications qualifies as a medical expense under section 118.2 of the Income Tax Act. This means that costs relating to your fertility treatment may be claimed as a medical expense credit on your income tax return. Please be sure to save all your Genesis Fertility Centre receipts for income tax time.
The Finance Minister announced in Mar 2017 that the government is expanding access to a tax credit for Canadians who turned to reproductive technologies. This means that anyone who has incurred expenses over the past 10 years for reproductive technologies such as IVF can refile their taxes for that year and claim the expense. Please contact your tax professional for additional information.
At Genesis we accept cash, debit card, Visa, Mastercard, certified cheque or bank draft. Other options include paying through a bank loan or line of credit, using a financing company, or using a health trust if you are an incorporated or self-employed business owner.
A Private Health Services Plan is as an alternative to financing and is available to business owners through The John Robinson Group Inc and Trusted Advisor. Click here to learn more.
Genesis does not offer financing directly, but there are specialized financing companies who offer financing for medical procedures. Interest rates are usually less than normal credit card rates. If you are interested in finding out more about financing options, please refer to the links below:

BrookeThe whole process start to finish was intense and emotional but the best decision I ever made. Dr. Kashyap and her staff made the process so much easier. They were always available to answer questions, if I left a message or sent an email, that same day I heard back. Not once did they seem rushed, they always took the time for me.
