I’m a Quebec resident (or an international student who is now a resident of Quebec and who self-enrolled in the Health Plan). Does the Plan cover my prescription drugs?

How do I know if my drug is eligible for coverage under my Plan?

To find out if a specific drug is covered, contact the Care Centre with both the name of the drug and its Drug Identification Number (DIN).

If you don’t have access to a private or public drug plan (through your employer, parents, or spouse), you must register for the RAMQ Public Prescription Drug Insurance Plan. For more information, click here.

How do I claim for my prescription drugs?

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.

Combining Plans & Coordinating Benefits
