Prescription drug coverage in Nunavut: public plans and how to enrol

The public prescription drug plans of Nunavut, who they cover and how to register, from the official pages. Private insurance and the federal Non-Insured Health Benefits are separate.

Public drug plans

Extended Health Benefits (EHB) Seniors' Coverage: non-Indigenous (non-beneficiary) seniors 65 or older enrolled in the Nunavut Health Care Plan may be eligible; it covers prescription drugs on the formulary, including exception drugs. EHB also helps people not covered or not fully covered by third-party insurance. Inuit generally use the federal Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB). Health Insurance Programs Office: ehb@gov.nu.ca, 1-800-661-0833; confirm the boundary for Inuit seniors.

Deductibles, premiums, co-payments and income limits change every year or program year and some pages are older: they are mostly not listed here, so confirm on the official page. Use private insurance first when you have it (public plans are the payer of last resort). First Nations and Inuit may qualify for the federal Non-Insured Health Benefits. Rules, fees and programs change and were read on 2026-11-14: confirm with the official source. General information, not legal advice. Quebec follows its own rules: see atlasquebec.ca.
