Registration – To cancel one's registration
Do you need to cancel your registration for the Public Prescription Drug Insurance Plan? The Régie invites you to do so online (if your family situation and age allow you to use this service).
You can also call the Régie during office hours. Make sure to have your Health Insurance Card on hand.
However, the Régie cancels the registration of the following persons, without them having to submit a request:
Just the same, they receive in the mail the information necessary to determine whether they or their parents (as the case may be) must contact the Régie with respect to maintaining their registration for the public plan.
For example, persons who
turn 18 may, if they are full-time students, do not have a spouse and live with their parents, remain covered by the public
plan as a child. In this case, the
person's parents must contact the
Régie to request that the person's
coverage as a child be extended.
Please note
Certain persons mistakenly believe that they can cancel their registration for the public plan by indicating on their income tax return that they are covered by a private plan. Actually, the only way for them to cancel their registration for the public plan is to contact the Régie directly, unless they belong to a category of persons whose registration the Régie cancels automatically.
Pharmacists cannot cancel anyone's registration for the public plan.
