Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP)

This resource from the Migration Humanitarian Health Collective (MH2C) and Medavie Blue Cross provides a detailed explanation of the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), including eligibility by refugee category, coverage tiers (basic, supplemental, and prescription drug coverage), and provincial top-ups such as the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP). It also outlines how clinicians can register with Medavie Blue Cross to provide IFHP-covered services and notes that refugee claimants are covered until their claim is processed.  This resource is essential for clinicians and clinic administrators seeking to understand and navigate the health coverage landscape for refugee patients in Canada.
