Depending on your situation, several reimbursement paths exist. Here are the main ones and how to approach them.

Talk to a practitioner

The cost of medical cannabis is a common concern. The good news: depending on your situation, several reimbursement paths may apply. None is guaranteed, but they're worth exploring.

Private plans

A growing number of private insurers cover medical cannabis, often under certain conditions or for specific indications. Check with your group or individual plan.

Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC)

For eligible veterans, VAC may reimburse medical cannabis under its requirements. It's one of the most established programs in the country. Coverleaf offers a free consultation to veterans.

The CNESST

With an accepted claim, the CNESST may reimburse medical cannabis as part of your treatment following a workplace injury in Quebec.

Medical expenses

Even without direct coverage, medical cannabis may sometimes qualify as a medical expense. Keep your receipts and check your situation.
