Medically assisted procreation

My choice is medically assisted procreation (PMA)!

Medically assisted procreation (PMA) is a medical advance that offers me hope if I have difficulty conceiving a child.

On this page, the CNS explains how to obtain authorisation for coverage of my PMA.

Everything I need to know

Who will provide my care?

I will be monitored by my usual gynaecologist in close collaboration with the centres and specialist doctors:

  • National Medically Assisted Procreation Laboratory of the PMA Service at the Centre Hospitalier du Luxembourg;
  • Infertility Treatment Centre of the HRS Maternity Hospital (Dr Bohler).

Under certain conditions, health insurance covers the costs associated with:

  • ovarian stimulation;
  • artificial insemination;
  • in vitro fertilisation (IVF);
  • intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

What conditions must I fulfil?

To be eligible for treatment, I must fulfil the following conditions:

  • I am under 43 years of age on the date of the last measure of the treatment;
  • I have not undergone a tubal ligation;
  • My partner has not undergone a vasectomy.

Please note! Specific conditions are applied by the hospitals concerned.

I will make enquiries in advance.

What steps do I need to take?

For my in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to be covered by health insurance, I need prior authorisation from the CNS. The request is made by the gynaecologist of the PMA department before the start of treatment.

If the conditions are met, the CNS will issue a certificate of coverage for a maximum period of 6 months from the date of issue.

I download the prior authorisation request form (Appendix J)

Will I have to pay any expenses up front?

For a stay in a standard room, I only pay:

  • Doctors' fees;
  • The daily contribution for my hospital stay;
  • Where applicable, supplements for personal convenience (1st class room, for example).

The CNS covers my hospital treatment according to the third-party payment system.

I am invoiced for medical fees according to the official nomenclature.

Laboratory costs are covered in full.

In the context of medically assisted procreation (PMA) medical procedures and services are covered in accordance with the terms of the CNS statutes, with a financial contribution from me.

Good to know: no unpleasant surprises, the hospital informs me of the financial conditions of my stay.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

And if I am a cross-border worker, what about the coverage of my medically assisted procreation?

If I am a cross-border worker and I receive medical care in my country of residence, the expenses will be reimbursed exclusively by my local health insurance fund, in accordance with the rates, tariffs and conditions applicable in that country.
