I am leaving for a trip outside Québec. What precautions must I take regarding prescription drug insurance?
If you are covered by the Public Prescription Drug Insurance Plan, you should be aware that the public plan does not cover prescription drugs purchased outside Québec. Thus, when leaving Québec temporarily, you would be well advised to take out private travel insurance covering not only prescription drugs, but also any healthcare you may need during your trip. If you are covered by a private plan, ask your insurer whether you have sufficient coverage, because not all private group insurance plans reimburse the cost of drugs purchased outside Québec.
