A number of families are not covered by work health insurance benefits, so we asked a colleague for some information about other forms of benefits. This link takes you to an Alberta Health overview of Non-Group Benefits and links to premiums (including the income-tested premium subsidy program), and application forms:
http://www.health.alberta.ca/services/drugs-non-group.html.

A quick summary of out-of-pocket costs for Non-Group Subscribers:

• Monthly premium of $118 (subsidy available to bring this down to $82).
• $50 annual deductible.
• 30% co-pay on each prescription to a maximum of $25.

It is important to note that the list of products covered by Non-Group benefits is substantially smaller than employer or private drug benefits programs.

For example, some versions of Ritalin, Dexedrine, and Vyvanse are reimbursed products under Non-Group Benefits. However, Concerta, Adderal, Focalin, Methylin, Metadate, Quillivant, Daytrana and others are not reimbursed products under Non-Group benefits.
