Veterans Affairs Canada Program

< Back to All Posts

Coast Mountain Cannabis is now officially working alongside Blue Cross and the Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) program. This partnership allows for direct reimbursement for medical cannabis, streamlining the process for those who have served and are living with chronic pain, PTSD, sleep disturbances, or other conditions.
 
If you are a Veteran and a current medical client with us, you can now receive coverage for up to 3g per day (at a rate of up to $6.00/gram). We will cover any cost difference between the VAC coverage ($6.00/gram) and the actual cost of our products.
