OHIP does not cover circumcision. The only exception is that OHIP will cover circumcision of a teenager or adult if there is an existing condition that makes circumcision medically necessary, for example phimosis (a tight foreskin that can not be retracted). If you have phimosis, you will not need to pay for the procedure or involve your parents. If you wish to have the circumcision done for some other reason, you will have to pay to have it done.

Circumcision has no known medical benefit, and most doctors recommend against routine infant circumcision. Circumcision, like all surgeries, has risks of adverse medical events including surgical error, prolonged bleeding, infection, and pain. A permanent decrease in penile sensitivity and sexual pleasure is also common since circumcision removes the foreskin, which protects the sensitive glans (head) of the penis. You'll want to take all this information into account before opting to have to surgery done.

There are a few numbers I am going to include that you could call for further information if needed.
