Prior Authorization Drugs

Critical or rare illnesses often require new drugs that can cost you several thousands of dollars a year.

Your Individual insurance plan helps cover all or part of these costs. However, for very expensive drugs or for drugs with a high potential for misuse, you may need to get prior authorization from Desjardins Insurance – Opens a tooltip before you can be reimbursed as per your contract.

If you are enrolled in a provincial drug insurance plan, please submit your claim to this plan first since it may cover this drug. If your claim is refused by your provincial drug insurance plan, please send us a copy of the notice of refusal and the form completed by your physician so that we can analyze your file.


Before sending any forms to us, please call our Customer Contact Centre at one of the numbers below to see if there are any other documents you need to include.
