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, spouse’s, or 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.
Subsequently, the reimbursement received via the student Health Plan corresponds to the difference between the price of the drug (if it is covered) and the amount reimbursed by the former plan (private plan or RAMQ).
