Health care in Prince Edward Island: health card, drug plans and dental help

How health insurance works in Prince Edward Island, provincial drug plans with their amounts, dental care and disability supports.

Your provincial health insurance

Medically necessary hospital and doctor services in Prince Edward Island are covered by the provincial plan: PEI Health Card. Your health card is the key to those services. It is valid in your province, and you should keep your previous coverage until the new one starts, since a waiting period can apply when you move. Official government site ↗
