Menopause hormone therapy (MHT / HRT)

Not yet confirmed

Not yet confirmed — check the provincial program directly.

PEI's National Pharmacare Program page states its scope as "contraceptives, diabetes medications, and blood glucose test strips" only — MHT is not named. A strong negative signal, but not an explicit exclusion, so status could not be confirmed either way today.

What this means for what you pay

We haven't been able to confirm this from a public government or insurer source yet — check the provincial program directly before assuming either way, and check back as we verify it.
