FRMedical cannabis and IVAC: prepare a complete, compliant request.
IVAC's official directory lists Directive 3.8 for possible reimbursement of medical cannabis products. Coverleaf coordinates the clinical assessment and helps you confirm the current requirements; IVAC always decides eligibility and reimbursement.

IVAC currently lists Directive 3.8 among its rehabilitation directives under the title “Reimbursement of cannabis products for medical purposes.” This confirms that an administrative pathway exists, but it does not establish an individual's eligibility or payment of a particular expense.
Why the current requirements must be confirmed
During our September 25, 2026 check, the file linked from that entry served Directive 3.2 on physical rehabilitation instead. Until IVAC restores the correct file, an older copy of Directive 3.8 should not be treated as the definitive list of documents, products or exclusions.
Before incurring an expense
Ask IVAC to confirm the current requirements, records to submit and written decision applicable to your file. A clinical authorization or submission of documents does not guarantee a favourable IVAC decision.
IVAC, CNESST and SAAQ follow different rules
IVAC applies to certain people affected by a criminal offence. CNESST is a separate scheme for workplace injuries. SAAQ stated in 2025 that Quebec's public automobile insurance plan does not reimburse cannabis expenses because cannabis is not covered by the public prescription-drug plan. We guide you according to the organization actually connected to your file without presenting one scheme as equivalent to another.
How Coverleaf can help
Same-day callback
Leave your contact details. Requests received during business hours get a same-day callback, without collecting sensitive medical or offence information in the public form.
The practitioner assesses
A physician or nurse practitioner determines the required assessment format and whether a medical document is appropriate; an in-person visit may be required.
Confirm the records
If treatment is authorized, we help organize the available information and have IVAC's current list confirmed before any expense is incurred.
IVAC decides
IVAC assesses the connection to the harm, the person's eligibility and the products claimed, then issues its decision.
Clarify the next steps for your file
Leave only your first name, email address, phone number and best time to reach you. Requests received during business hours get a same-day callback. No offence details, medical information or file number are requested here.
