Does Police Health cover In vitro fertilisation (IVF)?

Yes, but only for the components that involve an admission to hospital as an ‘in-patient’ as well as those services that have a valid medicare item number that are eligible for benefits. 

For example, if your surgical procedure of harvesting eggs is carried out in an operating theatre you’ll be admitted as an in-patient to hospital. 

In this instance, Police Health's Gold Hospital cover will provide a benefit toward the theatre fees, hospital accommodation, and gap fees on medicare eligible inpatient services for anaesthetist and treating doctors. 

It's important to be aware that you may have to pay out-of-pocket costs in this situation and there are other costs to consider with IVF.
