Beginning April 1, 2025, British Columbia will offer a publicly funded IVF program covering one cycle, to increase access to fertility treatments. Acubalance Wellness Centre in Vancouver provides preconception care, including acupuncture, laser therapy, and personalized health plans to optimize fertility and improve IVF success rates. Preparing for IVF 3–6 months before the cycle can enhance egg quality and uterine health, maximizing the chance of success with BC's new program.
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Beginning April 1, 2025, British Columbia's government will introduce a publicly funded in-vitro fertilization (IVF) program, offering coverage for a single IVF cycle. This program, funded with $68 million, represents a significant step in increasing access to fertility treatments for individuals and couples across the province of British Columbia.
However, while the financial relief is substantial, IVF success depends on factors like the quality of your eggs and uterine receptivity as well as sperm quality. To make the most of this opportunity and increase the likelihood of success with your first free cycle, preconception care is important.
Acubalance Wellness Centre in Vancouver provides preconception treatments to prepare your body and mind for IVF. This preparation should ideally start 3 to 6 months before your IVF cycle, as it takes that amount of time for eggs to fully, mature and reach their peak fertility potential. Without optimal fertility health, the chances of needing more than one cycle increase, which could mean further expenses.
Acubalance Wellness Centre also provides onsite acupuncture for transfer day at Olive Fertility Centre in Vancouver and also supports patients undergoing IVF at any clinic in Vancouver and throughout British Columbia. Their evidence-informed treatments are designed to optimize your health and fertility regardless of where your IVF cycle takes place.
If you're ready to start preparing for your IVF journey, contact Acubalance Wellness Centre today to create a personalized preconception care plan.
What Does the Free IVF Program Cover?
No one really knows at the time of this press release but many are hoping and speculating the new IVF program will fund one full cycle, covering both the treatment and necessary medications. However, some critical details such as eligibility criteria, age considerations, service delivery options, and care pathways are still being finalized. These will be determined through consultations with an expert group over the course of 2024 (BCMJ) (CityNewsVancouver).
With the full cost of IVF, including medications, ranging between $15,000 and $25,000, this program offers significant financial relief for those pursuing fertility treatment (BC Gov News).
