Purchasing a home blood pressure monitor
Did you know that some insurance providers will cover the cost (fully or partly) of a home blood pressure monitor? Please check directly with your insurance provider.
If you are First Nations or Inuit, you may be eligible for a free home blood pressure monitor under the Non-insured Health Benefits program. A prescription or referral signed by your your Primary Care Provider or Pharmacist may be all you need. Please contact them directly for more information.
