Yukon Pharmacare (Seniors Extended Health Benefits)
YT Seniors Pharmacare
Yukon Pharmacare and Extended Health Care Benefits for seniors help residents 65 and older with the cost of prescription drugs and other medical supplies. The Pharmacare program covers the full cost of the lowest-priced generic version of covered prescription drugs listed in the Yukon Pharmacare Formulary, including the dispensing fee, after any private insurance is applied.
Conseils utiles pour la demande
Submit any private insurance you have first, since Pharmacare covers costs after private insurance. Check the Yukon Pharmacare Formulary to see if your medication is covered. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if a generic version is available, since the program covers the lowest-priced generic.
Qui peut être admissible
You may qualify if you are a Yukon resident 65 or older with a valid Yukon Health Card. Coverage applies to prescription drugs listed in the Yukon Pharmacare Formulary, with private insurance applied first and Pharmacare covering the remaining cost of the lowest-priced generic.
Documents requis
Proof you are 65 or older, a valid Yukon Health Card, and (if you have private insurance) your private drug insurance information, since Pharmacare applies after private coverage.
Comment présenter une demande
Apply through the Yukon government Extended Health Care Benefits and Pharmacare for seniors page. You must be a Yukon resident 65 or older with a valid Yukon Health Card.
Erreurs courantes à éviter
A common mistake is not realizing coverage applies after any private insurance, so submit your private insurance first. Another is not checking the Yukon Pharmacare Formulary to see if your drug is covered. People also miss that the program covers the lowest-priced generic, so ask your doctor or pharmacist about a generic option.
