Health Insurance Card: What does it do and how do I get or renew it?

If you don't have your Health Insurance Card with you or if your card has expired, you must pay for the services you receive and then apply to the Régie to get the money back. The Cree Health Board will not reimburse your money.

To get reimbursed, ask your doctor for the form Demande de remboursement à la personne assurée, and send it to the Régie as soon as possible. No later than one year after the service date.

You are required to renew your Health Insurance Card before it expires if you wish to receive covered services free of charge under the Health Insurance Plan. Save yourself a lot of worries and have a valid card with you.

If your card expired more than 6 months ago, you will be charged $25 to renew it.

Please send the original detailed invoices, the form Demande de remboursement à la personne assurée and proof of payment showing that the fee has been paid. Without these documents, the Régie cannot process your request.

Mail the documents to this address:
