Separation or Divorce
When two persons insured by the Health Insurance Plan become separated or divorced, they must call the Régie or visit an office of the Régie during office hours to report their change in civil status. Where one of the parents obtains custody of a child, it is important to inform the Régie so that documents concerning the child can be sent to the right address.
A separation or divorce may also affect your prescription drug insurance coverage. It is therefore important to make sure you're covered by the right plan.
Regardless of your situation, the Régie cannot issue a duplicate Health Insurance Card, not even for a child. It's up to you to make sure your child has his/her card with him/her.
If your new situation involves a move for you or your children, refer to the section on moving for information about changes of address.
