Medications, Prescriptions and Pharmacies
Prescription Renewals
HMOs operate services for creating and renewing prescriptions:
If You Don’t Have a Prescription
If you don’t have a valid prescription or are unable to get one, pharmacies may be able to provide certain medications and treatments for immediate and urgent needs without a prescription—at the pharmacist’s professional discretion and according to Ministry of Health guidelines. In such cases, you may receive a supply for up to seven days, until you’re able to obtain a prescription from a doctor.
Note that medications must be paid for in full. HMOs will not subsidize the cost. Medications classified as controlled substances or psychiatric drugs will not be provided without a prescription.
Medication Delivery
HMOs operate dedicated services to deliver medications to your location.
Checking Pharmacy Inventory
If you need to purchase medications, you can check with local pharmacies to see if they are in stock before going out.
