How we take care of it

We handle the VAC process, start to finish

You don't fill out forms alone, and you don't pay up front with our partner platform. We guide you through every step.

We prepare the whole file

Our physicians and nurse practitioners in Quebec build, validate and submit the documentation required for your VAC claim — every form. You fill out nothing alone.

Free consultation for veterans

The consultation and file preparation are free for eligible veterans. Reimbursement of the cannabis itself depends on VAC approval and the terms of your file.

No money up front

We refer you to an online medical cannabis platform (Mendo Medical) where, depending on your coverage, you order without paying up front or waiting for reimbursement — the platform handles billing to the insurer.

Are you eligible?

Veterans may be eligible for reimbursement through Veterans Affairs Canada when cannabis for medical purposes is authorized by a health care professional and meets VAC requirements. VAC's standard reimbursement framework is based on a maximum of 3 grams per day, with a maximum reimbursement rate of $6.00 per gram. Higher daily quantities may require exceptional approval and specialist documentation.

Coverage depends on VAC approval and a practitioner's assessment. Coverleaf does not guarantee eligibility or approval, but guides you through every step of the claim.
