Please note that your student Plan covers only eligible prescription drugs in only the above categories.
Some drugs covered by the Plan aren’t covered by RAMQ. In this case, the pharmacist will give you a receipt indicating that the public plan provides no reimbursement. The insurance company will then reimburse you for the cost of the lowest priced equivalent generic product on the market.
If you're a Quebec resident (including international students who have become Quebec residents):
Ensure that you’re registered for one of these two plans:
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). When the drug is covered by both the private/RAMQ plan and the student Plan, Quebec residents can be reimbursed for up to 100% of eligible costs by combining their plans.
