The cost of prescription drugs, visiting the optometrist or physiotherapist or a stay in the hospital, can add up. Extended health care (EHC) and dental insurance covers many basic health costs. Help make your trips to the dentist less painful by choosing a plan with dental care.
In Quebec, you are required to have drug coverage through the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) or an equivalent group/association plan to purchase health and drug coverage through the CAPIC insurance program. A person not covered under a group benefit plan or through RAMQ, is not eligible for coverage under this policy.
Our rate sheets can provide you with a quick estimate.
For more information about this coverage, please refer to your CAPIC plan brochure.
