If you are or will be taking medical marijuana for a medical condition that is supervised by a physician, and would like insurance coverage,  find out how you can have your medical marijuana covered under your Manulife Flexcare or FollowMe Health plan.

Starting October 1, 2018 Manulife Flexcare Health and Manulife FollowMe Health Plans  will have  coverage for medical marijuana.

Here is how it works.

Manulife has teamed up with Shoppers Drug Mart .
They have started a medical marijuana program that will help you in determining the best type of marijuana and the best way to use it.
They will also provide you with ongoing medical marijuana updates in helping you manage your condition with medical marijuana.

To have it covered under your health plan, you must follow these steps.

1.  Have your doctor complete a prior authorization drug form.
2.  Submit it to Manulife.  Your form will be reviewed to determine whether you are eligible for coverage.
3.  Once approved for medical marijuana coverage, you will receive a telephone call from a Shopper’s Drug Mart medical marijuana expert who will advise you on the best strains and the best method of taking your medical marijuana.
You will also receive regular updates via email and telephone on managing your condition with medical marijuana.
4.  Your medical marijuana will be covered – provided you are part of the Manulife/Shoppers Drug Mart management program.
