Prescription Drugs
GreenShield Insurance 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.
