Broader Coverage with the Supplementary Plan
Q: What does the Supplementary Drug Plan cover?
A: The Supplementary Drug Plan covers a broader range of medications listed in the Canada Life Managed Formulary, providing additional coverage beyond BC Fair Pharmacare.
Emily, a former grip operator, needed medication that wasn’t listed in the BC Fair Pharmacare formulary. Concerned about the expense, she asked Tom if the plan offered any additional support.
Tom explained that the Supplementary Drug Plan covers a broader range of medications listed in the Canada Life Managed Formulary. Emily’s prescription fell under this formulary, so she was able to have the cost reimbursed after filling her prescription through a licensed pharmacy in Canada.
Knowing the plan had this extra layer of coverage reassured Emily, allowing her to focus on her health without financial worry.
