Coverage is available at no cost to individuals with a valid Medical Care Plan card. Individuals can receive a prescription through their healthcare provider, the regional health authorities, or the Athena Clinic in St. John’s. Those with private insurance will use this first, and then the province will cover any remaining cost as last payer. Claims can be submitted in real time through the Newfoundland and Labrador Prescription Drug Program (NLPDP) adjudication system regardless of eligibility.
