You can use your Health Spending Account (HSA) for eligible health-related expenses such as:

• Deductibles or co-insurance payments for health and dental expenses
• Health or dental expenses in excess of maximum coverage amounts
• A wide range of other health-related expenses that are not covered by your health and dental plan, but qualify as a medical expense under the Canadian Income Tax Act

To begin your Drug Coverage Search, enter the drug name or Drug Identification Number (DIN). Then select the plan member from the drop-down menu. If the drug is eligible as a benefit of the plan, you will see ‘covered’. If the drug is not covered by the plan, you will see ‘this drug is not covered at this time’. If the drug requires authorization, a link to the form will appear.
