Health Questionnaire Required
Your application will be evaluated. If you are taking prescription medication on an ongoing basis when you apply, or if you have a pre-existing medical condition, you will receive an offer for coverage that excludes the medications you’re currently taking and those approved by Health Canada to prevent or treat the medical conditions.

Prescription Drugs
SureHealth plans offer coverage for generic prescription medications that are approved for use in Canada, have a DIN, require a prescription by law and have been prescribed by an authorized medical practitioner. Brand name prescription medications may be covered if no generic equivalent exists. Smoking cessation products and drugs for the treatment of obesity, infertility and erectile dysfunction are not covered.
Quebec residents must be covered by the RAMQ (Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec) plan. Prescription drug claims must be submitted to RAMQ first. When RAMQ reimburses a portion of the drug cost, unpaid balances (including co-payments and deductibles) will be co‑ordinated so that you may be reimbursed up to 100% of the eligible expense incurred. If the drug is not covered by RAMQ, the standard co-pay applies.
