Drug Exception Process

If the medications covered by your insurance do not work for your condition, or if an effective drug is not covered, there is a special process to handle exceptions.

Download the form and print it, ask your doctor to complete the physician information section and submit your request to be considered for a drug exception.

To be considered for a drug exception, you must have tried at least one medication on your student health plan.

Prior-Authorization Drug Claims

Some prescription drugs require prior authorization before reimbursement is considered. You must submit a form to get prior authorization. Once prior authorization has been confirmed by the prescription search tool, you must work with your doctor to complete and submit a Drug Prior Authorization Form.

Prescription Search Tool

The BC Provincial Formulary is a specific list of drugs that are eligible for reimbursement under your drug benefit. Formularies are reviewed regularly and as a result, updates are made on an ongoing basis. Last updated on October 15th, 2024. Over-the-counter medication is not covered by the plan.

To search for a specific medication (for example Ibuprofen), enter your drug name or DIN in the search box below and click on search.





Drug Identification Numbers must be 8 digits. If you have a DIN less then 8 digits, pre-fill with zeros.
