Prescription Drug Claim Form: Fill & Download for Free

Canadian here from Winnipeg, Manitoba.Below are the extras for which I have private insurance. There are, of course, coverage limits, depending on what insurance plan you choose. I’ve always had extended coverage through work and now through a retiree group plan.travel health incl. trip cancellation, and repatriation or burial (if I expire during the trip)dentaloptician, optometrist and prescription glassesorthotics and orthopedic shoeshearing aidsprescription drugsexcluded therapies e.g. chiropractor, physiotherapist, massage, acupunctureambulancehome care & private duty nursingsemi-private hospital roomcoverage for dependent childrenPayment arrangements differ by provider…My pharmacist has my insurance info on file and is reimbursed directly by the insurance company.I pay my dentist out-of-pocket, and my dentist submits the claim for me. Once the claim is settled, the insurer reimburses me.Other providers may have similar arrangements, or I may need to pay them, then submit the claim form myself.Hope that helps.

What are some things we can do in the US but not in Canada?Depending on the state, one thing you may be able to do in the U.S. that you can’t do in Canada is walk around with a gun. See this photo below? It’s of a man who walked into the Atlanta airport — the busiest in the U.S. — in 2015 with a loaded AR-15. He broke no laws. In Canada, he would have been arrested and charged, and probably would have had his guns and gun licence stripped from him. There are lots more things you can do in America that you cannot do in Canada with respect to guns, but I’ll leave it at that.Publish and distribute hate speech. Hate speech targeting specific groups is illegal in Canada and punishable with a prison sentence. In the U.S., hate speech is still “free speech”. In Canada we have free speech, too, but as the saying goes, “the right for you to freely swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose.”Advertise prescription drugs on TV that make claims. Yes, there are pharmaceutical ads in Canada, but they are not allowed to even tell you what the medication is used for. This has resulted in rather funny and creative Viagra and Cialis adsHave cameras in courtrooms. This is strictly against the law in Canada.Openly talk about your religion in social settings. I have seen this in the U.S., but it’s not something people do in Canada — believe me, people will think you’re a bit weird and/or will be immediately put off by this. It’s considered to be extremely bad form.

I miss it when I have a chest infection and it'll be a week before I can get an appointment with a doctor. And even if I still have my symptoms by then, I'll sit in the waiting room for an hour or more.I miss it when I have a toothache or I want a dental cleaning I have to wait at least a few days or longer for a dental appointment.Not. Where I am, I can usually get an appointment the same day. Or if the doc is really booked up maybe tomorrow.I miss it when I finally get to see the doc he spends less than 5 minutes with me, asks very few questions, forms a conclusion, writes a prescription, then he's gone. Without taking the time to answer any questions about my illness or the drugs he just prescribed. And then I get a 3-figure bill for those five minutes. Are they billing me for rent while I was in the waiting room?Not. I've lived in three different developing countries outside the USA, and in each the doc gives me all the answers I need to feel confident in his diagnosis and prescription. It's not unusual for the doc to give me his mobile phone number and ask me to check in with him/her if the problem persists. And he actually answers the phone/or responds to a SMS message!I have never paid more than $30 for an office visit outside the USA.I miss health insurance payments that range somewhere between a new car payment and a mortgage. And budget-busting surprise annual premium increases of 20% or more. If I miss a payment the insurer might drop me… and then I have a coverage lapse - a disqualifier for any other insurance company to pick me up at literally any price.Not. Where I am - even as an expat - I can buy into universal healthcare coverage for a few hundred bucks a year. It's not glamorous coverage, but it has paid more than 50% both times I used it.I miss the cost of prescription drugs.Not. My cost for drugs is anywhere from 20–50% of what Americans pay. Name brand or generic. Oh, and once a doc writes a script I can use that over and over again rather than having the pharmacist take it - thus forcing me to pay another doctor visit to get a new scrip.I miss insurance companies rejecting claims as a business practice, figuring some percentage of insureds won't challenge their decision. And then, it takes months of trying, and hours sitting on hold to get their phony rejection reversed.I miss having to fill out 3–5 pages of paperwork and sign all kinds of forms on a first visit to a doctor or hospital. And the first question out of the receptionist's mouth is not about my health, but rather about my insurance.I miss paying years of sky-high premiums and still having to worry about having to declare personal bankruptcy, were I to contract an extended illness that exceeded policy maximums, and having to fight the insurance company day-in, day-out.I miss $2-5K annual deductibles before my expensive insurance pays anything.I miss going to an in-network hospital then getting a bill for thousands of bucks for out-of-network physicians who work there.NOT.Let's face it. American health care may not be the worst in the world, but it's striving to be. I guess that's what happens when health care is operated by profiteers rather than people who operate on the ideal of health care as a compassionate service.It's the world's most expensive, and the outcomes are poorer than those of most other developed countries.
