Canada
Provincial coverage, private plans, and long winters.
Coverage in Canada depends on your province, your employer plan and sometimes your diagnosis, and the differences are large. This circle keeps track of what members have actually experienced, and handles the practical winter problems that nobody else has to think about.
Who this circle is for
- You are in Canada
- You are navigating a private plan or provincial coverage
- You live somewhere with a serious winter and a delivery problem
Agreements here
- Coverage changes; we date everything we report
- No naming individual pharmacies or staff
