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

The public prescription drug plans of Yukon, 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

Chronic Disease and Disability Benefits Program: for Yukon residents under 65 with a chronic disease or disability; your prescriber applies for you before you buy (a community health nurse where there is no resident doctor). It is the payer of last resort (private insurers first) and there is an annual deductible (an older brochure said $250, to a maximum of $500 per family: confirm). People 65 and over use the Pharmacare program. 867-667-5092 or 1-800-661-0408.

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.
