Insurance and coverage
Circumcision is not covered by OHIP or RAMQ and is therefore considered an elective procedure. Payment in full is required at the time of the procedure. Some private health insurance plans may provide coverage for all or a portion of the cost. An official receipt will be provided following payment, which may be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement are subject to the terms and conditions of your individual insurance plan.
