Birthing Classes are typically covered under an HSA, but only when the circumstances are just right. When considering reimbursement for birth classes, one of the primary determinants is the qualification of the instructor. To meet the eligibility criteria, the instructor must be a medical professional officially recognized by the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency), such as a Doctor, Nurse, or Midwife. This ensures that the information provided during the birth classes is accurate, up-to-date, and aligned with medical standards.
The claim submission must include the following
The birth-person's name, referring to the individual giving birth to the infant
The invoice should also include the practitioner's name, credentials, and their role in conducting the class.
The date or dates of the service(s)
Proof of payment
