Coverage for Mifegymiso in the Northwest Territories is provided through the Northern Options for Women (NOW) Program*. The pharmacist will fill the prescription and bill your government/employer’s insurance (if applicable). The Department of Health and Social Services will be sent an invoice for any outstanding amount that your insurance plan does not cover, or will invoice the entire amount if you do not have any insurance coverage at all.
*The NOW program is only available in Yellowknife and Inuvik currently. The Department will cover the medical travel costs for residents that live outside of Yellowknife and Inuvik who choose treatment options using Mifegymiso and are referred by a practitioner.
