You will need to provide the 4 digit Group # 9505 (on the back of your drug/travel card), as well as your Manulife Group Plan number, 85210, and your certificate number, which is your McGill ID number.
IMPORTANT! Business Travel : If you plan to be outside the province for 183 days or more eg. sabbatical 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.
