The Prince Edward Island Health Card is designed to provide eligible residents with coverage for basic hospital and medical treatment.
The Department is responsible for issuing Health Cards under the PEI Hospital and Medical Services Plan. Private insurance companies offer coverage for health services which are not covered in the Provincial plan.
The Department may review the medical necessity of the services supplied, and may refer problem cases to its Medical Advisory Committee for recommendation. The Department’s Medical Director assesses applications for out-of-province services.
The plan is financed from general revenues of the Province of Prince Edward Island. You pay no premiums.
