All private group plans must at least cover the drugs on the List of Medications of the Basic Prescription Drug Insurance Plan (BPDIP). This list is drawn up and updated periodically by regulation under section 60 of the Act Respecting Prescription Drug Insurance. It contains three sections: The general list section, which contains drugs whose cost is guaranteed without any specific restrictions, as well as certain supplies essential to the administration of prescription drugs and expenses for eligible pharmaceutical services; The exception drug section, containing drugs whose cost is covered in cases, under conditions or for therapeutic indications that the Ministre de la Santé et des Services Sociaux determines by regulation; The exception patient section, which provides for the cases, conditions and circumstances under which any other drug not appearing on the general list or exception drug list may be covered. In addition to these drugs, a private group plan may cover additional drugs of its choice. Pooling goes further than the legal minimum in this regard because all drugs so reimbursed are covered by Pooling on the basis of the established Terms and Conditions.
