Please note that your student Plan covers only eligible prescription drugs in only the above categories.

If you aren’t covered by one of these two plans (Quebec Medicare or a private or public drug plan), you can’t submit prescription drug claims to the student Health Plan.
All claims for prescription drugs must first be submitted to a parent’s or spouse’s/employee plan or to RAMQ before being submitted to the student Health Plan. Note that only certain eligible drugs (see the categories above) are covered by the Plan.
