Quebec plans to add in vitro fertilization to government-funded health services

QUEBEC — The Quebec government introduced a bill today that would add one cycle of in vitro fertilization to the list of services covered by provincial health insurance.
One cycle of the procedure currently costs at least $6,000.
The government says heterosexual couples, single women and homosexual couples consisting of two women will be eligible for the funding.
Junior health minister Lionel Carmant says the funded service will only be available to women under 41, as the chance of success is too low among women older than that.
