Becoming a Recipient of Last-Resort Financial Assistance

When a person becomes a recipient of last-resort financial assistance, the ministère de l'Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale notifies the Régie, which registers the person for the Public Prescription Drug Insurance Plan. The person therefore has no steps to take.

When purchasing insured drugs, recipients of last-resort financial assistance must present their valid Health Insurance Card and their claim slip (carnet de réclamation).
