The new Manitoba Pharmacare year begins April 1.
You should receive your new Deductible Letter from Manitoba Pharmacare automatically, in the coming weeks, and no later than the second week of May. Sending us the Deductible Letter as soon as you get it, ensures your Drug Card stays active! After May 31, you will not be able to use your Drug Card, or submit Drug Claims for reimbursement, until you submit your Letter. You can mail us your Letter, drop it off at our offices at 880 Portage Avenue in Winnipeg, fax it to (204) 982-6080, or scan it and send it by email to mapleleaf@pbas.ca. Please write your Member ID number (from your Drug Card if you have received it) on the Letter. If you did not select One-Time Enrolment when you applied for your Pharmacare Deductible or if you have not yet applied, you should apply now. The Application Form is available on the Manitoba Health website, at gov.mb.ca/health/pharmacare. You are strongly encouraged to select Option A – One- Time Enrolment so you do not have to submit a new application each year. Dependent children age 18 and over, are required to apply for and provide a separate Pharmacare deductible letter. If you have any questions, please call us at (204) 982-4170, or toll-free, 1-877-982-4170.
The UFCW Union/Maple Leaf Foods Inc. Benefit Plan was established for the purpose of providing, from the assets of the Trust Fund, health and wellness benefits for Eligible Employees.
The Plan is financed through a requirement in your Union Collective Bargaining Agreement that your employer pays a negotiated amount into the Plan for every hour you work. The only costs Plan Participants are responsible for are those charges that exceed coverage provided by the Plan.
