Are you a long-term care resident who is younger than 65 years old and who does not have access to prescription drug coverage from other sources?

If yes, you should be eligible to receive full public coverage of all prescribed medicines that are listed on the Nova Scotia Formulary. The formulary is available online and is updated regularly.

If you aren’t sure whether you are eligible for a private plan (for example, through your employer, alumni association, professional association, etc.), go to Question 16 to learn more.
