Veterans: reimbursement is possible for your medical cannabis.
Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) can reimburse cannabis for medical purposes for eligible veterans, when it is authorized by a health care professional and meets VAC requirements. Coverleaf handles the clinical evaluation and prepares the documentation, from start to finish.
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.
