Health and Dental Plan Coverage for prescription drugs, dental care, health services, and more, helping with costs your provincial health plan doesn’t cover.

 

Drug Benefits

The student health plan pays for a portion of prescription drugs removing some of the financial burden so you can make your health a priority.

Health Benefits Coverage
Prescription Drugs 90%

The maximum amount payable to an eligible brand name drug will be limited to the lowest priced item in the appropriate generic category.

Your drug plan also includes additional coverage for smoking cessation products legally requiring a prescription, up to a maximum of $500 per benefit year.

Vaccinations are covered at 100% up to $150 per benefit year. Administration costs associated with providing the injection are not covered.

Drug Exception Process

If the medications covered by your insurance do not work for your condition, or if an effective drug is not covered, there is a special process to handle exceptions.

Download the form and print it, ask your doctor to complete the physician information section and submit your request to be considered for a drug exception.

To be considered for a drug exception, you must have tried at least one medication on your student health plan.

Prior-Authorization Drug Claims

Some prescription drugs require prior authorization before reimbursement is considered. You must submit a form to get prior authorization. Once prior authorization has been confirmed by the prescription search tool, you must work with your doctor to complete and submit a Drug Prior Authorization Form.

The Prescription Search Tool helps you find out if your prescribed medications are covered under your student health plan. Over-the-counter medications are not covered by the plan.
