Clinique Ovo generates revenue through fertility treatment procedures (private pay and Quebec's public medically assisted reproduction program with subsidies up to $6,627.10 per cycle as of 2022), fee-for-service preservation plans (Classic and Express), laboratory testing, donor coordination, stem cell banking subscriptions, and telemedicine consultations. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with online booking and a patient portal, complemented by participation in Quebec's public program and membership (since August 2020) in The Fertility Partners, Canada's largest coast-to-coast fertility network. Operations span a Montreal headquarters and the OVO Gatineau clinic (integrated March 2024), with ovo Labo services available across 50+ partner collection sites in Quebec.
