Please be advised that while Humber River Health provides a High Quality full service Obstetrical Program, we do not support birth tourism.
We are not affiliated, associated, or in any way officially connected with CanadaMama Consulting or any other birth tourism agency – despite any social media or website advertising they may choose to produce.
We urge all patients and families to exercise caution and ensure proper due diligence before entering into an agreement with third party organizations offering birth tourism.

Non-OHIP Rates for Uninsured Patients
Thank you for choosing Humber River Health as the place to have your baby.
Your care provider (physician or midwife) will review the finance process with you during your prenatal visits.
Effective November 13, 2023, the total charge for non-OHIP patients planning to deliver at Humber is $10,028 for the delivery. However, the cost of the hospital stay is subject to change and can only be confirmed on the delivery day and specific care needs. Non-OHIP birthing fees apply to gestational surrogacy whereby any parties of the surrogacy arrangement are from of out of country (even if some parties have OHIP). Fee details need to be discussed with Cashier’s Office and payment made prior to the hospital delivery.
We ask that patients pay the full fees ten (10 days) prior to their hospital delivery. Once payment is made, an official receipt will be provided by Cashier Office. You will present this official receipt to the Birthing Unit Triage desk at time of registration.
You can make the payment by cash, debit or credit card in person at the Cashier Office located at Level 1 room 1e1006 (east of Tim Horton’s near Emergency Department Fast Track Zone) of Humber River Health Hospital at 1235 Wilson Avenue. A copy of your receipt will be issued to you.
If you are unable to make the payment in person, you may pay by phone and have your credit card information ready and call: (416) 242-1000 ext. 81400. A copy of your receipt will be mailed or emailed to you.
