How do I get reimbursed for the FreeStyle Libre 2 system?

First, talk to your healthcare professional to get a prescription. If you meet the coverage criteria, your claim for the FreeStyle Libre 2 system will be processed like any other claim at the local pharmacy.

Are there any out-of-pocket costs?

How do I apply for Manitoba Pharmacare?

You can do one-time program enrollment and eliminate the need to submit a completed application form every year. To enroll, you’ll need to fill out and sign both the consent and declaration sections of the Pharmacare Application and Consent Authorization Form and send it to Manitoba Health.

The Canada Revenue Agency will then electronically forward to Manitoba Health your most recent income information. Your income level from last year will determine your annual Pharmacare deductible for the next benefit year (e.g., 2022 income determines the annual Pharmacare deductible for the 2024/2025 benefit year). The annual deductible is determined on April 1 of each benefit year.
