How does insurance coverage work after a change of insurance?

After changing insurance, the coverage may vary depending on the new insurance policy. Some medications may require the prescriber to fill out a form and send it to the insurance provider for evaluation. Private insurers in Quebec are required to offer at least the same level of medication coverage as the public health insurance plan. It is important to inquire with the new insurance provider about the specific coverage details. Usually, medications for children are covered at 100%, but this may vary with private insurers. It is best to clarify all coverage details with the new insurance company.
