What you need to do after the death of a loved one who was covered by the health insurance and prescription drug insurance plans.
Before leaving Québec to travel or study, or before moving abroad, check your situation with regard to health insurance and prescription drug insurance.
You have different ways of obtaining information (online, telephone, in writing) about the health insurance plan and the Public Prescription Drug Insurance Plan, among others.
Here is how to request authorization to use a RAMQ brand, such as a Health Insurance Card, and to make a copyright request.
The public plan covers the prescription drugs on the List of Medications that are prescribed by a health professional and, in most cases, purchased in Québec.
Québec has concluded agreements with certain countries, thereby making it easier to access health insurance during a temporary stay (work, studies) or a following a permanent departure.
In certain situations (such as studies, work, 7-year exception), you may be absent from Québec 183 days or more in a calendar year and still remain eligible for health insurance.
A private prescription drug insurance plan is either a group insurance plan administered by a private company or an employee benefit plan.
RAMQ applies legal and control measures in order to fulfil its mission toward citizens and health professionals.
Guided by values of fairness, integrity and respect, RAMQ contributes responsibly to the performance of the Québec health network.
