MARKHAM, Ontario, March 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Markham Fertility Centre (MFC) and humm Canada proudly come together to announce better financing options for patients seeking fertility treatments.
Time, cost, and distance can be barriers for patients when accessing fertility care. While the Ministry of Ontario funds some fertility treatments at eligible clinics through the Ontario Fertility Program, the costs of both funded and unfunded treatments can cause patients to delay their decision to obtain care, or worse, prevent them from seeking treatment altogether. According to Markham Fertility Centre’s Medical Director, Dr Meivys Garcia, “Roughly one quarter of fertility patients delay treatment for financial reasons. Time is of the essence in fertility care and our partnership with humm gives patients a flexible option to finance their treatment so that they do not have to delay care. We were pleased to learn that humm offers a low-fixed interest rate to all approved patients that is much more reasonable than is available through other providers.”
"We are extremely excited to partner with Markham Fertility Centre, a true pillar in the fertility community," said Tim Moulton, CEO at humm. "Together, we aim to create a better experience for patients who are in need of fertility treatments. By combining our financial expertise with the exceptional care provided by Markham Fertility Centre, we can empower individuals and couples to pursue their dreams of starting or expanding their families."
Humm and Markham Fertility Centre are dedicated to ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care and support throughout their fertility journey. Through this partnership, Markham Fertility Centre and humm Canada will work collaboratively to develop flexible financial solutions and provide educational resources to help patients make informed decisions while easing one of the main hurdles to timely reproductive care.
