Procedure

[edit]

  1. An application for registration form is available from the offices of Service New Brunswick (SNB). A separate form should be completed for any dependent who has reached a nineteenth birthday.
  2. Applications are assessed on an individual basis and other documents may be requested to verify eligibility.
  3. Once a completed application form is received from new registrants and their eligibility is established, a letter indicating actual start date of coverage is issued. A valid New Brunswick Medicare card is issued and mailed shortly thereafter.
  4. If you have moved to New Brunswick, you may be eligible for New Brunswick Medicare coverage on the first day of the third month following the month you have established permanent residence in New Brunswick. For example, if you moved to New Brunswick on July 20, the month of July will count as the first month, with August and September as the following two. In this case, coverage would begin October 1.
  5. The three month waiting period is legislated under New Brunswicks Medical Services Payment Act.
