IMPORTANT!  IF YOU PLAN TO BE OUTSIDE THE PROVINCE FOR 183 DAYS OR MORE (eg. sabbatical leave):

BEFORE YOU LEAVE - To ensure your coverage under the Quebec Health Insurance Plan continues while you are away, it is imperative that you notify the Régie before you leave if you plan to be outside the province for 183 days or more. You must also fill out the form entitled Temporary Departure From Québec, available from the Régie. Upon receiving the completed form, the Régie will confirm in writing, if applicable, whether you remain eligible for the Health Insurance Plan.  Consult the RAMQ website  for important details. 

Note that if your coverage under the Quebec Health Insurance Plan does not continue, you will not be covered under the McGill Supplemental Health Plan for emergency medical services during your absence.

Temporary Residents take note:

If you are a temporary resident - the RAMQ imposes a 21-day travel restriction rule. That is, temporary residents may leave Québec for periods of 21 consecutive days or less and remain eligible for services covered outside Québec. However, if you leave Québec temporarily for more than 21 days, you will not be covered by the Quebec Health Insurance Plan during your absence. Since you must have coverage under the provincial plan health care in order to be covered by the McGill Supplemental Health Plan, if you remain outside the province for longer than 21 days, you will not be covered by the McGill Supplemental Health Plan during your absence, whether you are travelling on vacation or on business.
