Actual coverage
If you are covered under Fair PharmaCare only, actual reimbursement or coverage will depend on whether you have met your deductible or family maximum for the year.
PharmaCare's Full Payment Policy does not apply to any of these products. This means that even if you are receiving 100% coverage or reimbursement of the eligible PharmaCare maximum amount, the provider may charge you costs above that amount.
