Who can submit an insured health expense claim for reimbursement?
- To submit a claim for yourself or a family member, you must have or have had a valid NWT health care card when you received insured health services outside of the NWT.
Please Note: Your NWT Health Care Card only covers you for medically necessary services provided by a doctor or hospital. It does not cover all expenses such as ambulances or medevacs. It is recommended that you get travel insurance when you travel.
