Midwifery services
If you are a resident of Ontario and do not have OHIP, the cost of midwifery care is covered by the government as long as you live in Ontario and plan to stay here for at least six months after the baby is born. Additional funding is available (but not guaranteed) for ultrasounds, lab work, and hospital fees; however, the amount that is covered varies. Information will be available once you register as a midwifery client. If you deliver your baby in the hospital with a midwife your room fees and other billable fees may apply.
For non-residents of Ontario (e.g., you are here on a visitor or student visa and are planning to return to your home country during your pregnancy or shortly after your birth), there is a fee for midwifery services in addition to hospital and lab work fees. The cost for a delivery on the unit is currently $1,000 for uninsured individuals.
