Ask your doctor. I don't know all of the specifics of the provincial plan. Chris, I believe Concerta is covered on the Quebec drug plan. Ask your doctor.

The difference, with the same dosage, was astounding. The cost of Concerta is huge and I would obviously be delighted if Quebec decided to cover it as well. I will go look up CADDAC.

The short answer is that I don't know. I encourage you to contact CADDAC.ca - they work on advocacy, and I know they helped in Ontario. Dr. Kenny Cherry – These can be highly political processes.

I have two special needs kids one on Adderall and now one on biphentin and although at least the biphetin is less expensive it definitely all adds up. Hopefully soon.
