The type of IFHP coverage you receive, and the length of your coverage depend on your status in Canada. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the CBSA decide whether you are eligible for the IFHP. You can find the eligibility requirements on the IRCC website. Some people who are covered by IFHP also receive the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) coverage.
The following expenses may be covered.
Hospital visits and ambulance services.
Essential vaccines and medications.
Pregnancy and midwifery services.
Some vision and dental care.
Services by clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, physiotherapists, and other health professionals.

The IFHP does not cover the cost of health-care services or products that a person may claim (even in part) under a public or private health insurance plan. The IFHP does not coordinate benefits with other insurance plans/programs so co-payments aren’t possible.
When you plan on making a virtual appointment with our health care provider, you must have your Interim Federal Health Program Certificate or your Refugee Protection Claimant Document with you.
Our patient care team will verify your IFHP documents. Upon verification and eligibility, you do not need to pay for your virtual visit. Our clinic will receive payment from Medavie Blue Cross on your behalf.
