Prescription Drug Claims

Prescription drug claims using your Student Card
By presenting your valid student ID card, you can fill your prescriptions at most Canadian pharmacies. The pharmacist will need the number on the sticker on the back of your card, and will then be able to process the claim immediately, so you won’t have to pay the full amount up front and wait to be reimbursed.

Should you have your prescription filled at a pharmacy that is not able to access the plan by computer network, you must pay the pharmacist and submit your claim to Sun Life for reimbursement (see Other Health Benefits).

Your student ID can't be accepted during the Blackout Period, which ends in mid-October.

Dispensing Fee
Eligible (covered) expenses for the dispensing fee are limited to $5 for each prescription or refill. This means that you will have to pay 100% of that portion of the dispensing fee above $5. Note: not all pharmacists charge the same amount; visit www.myams.org/health for a listing of local pharmacists' dispensing fees.
