Submissions must include:

• A completed Excel version of the Price Change Form (required).
• A completed PDF version of the Price Change Form.
• A summary of the current list price(s) in every other Canadian jurisdiction, including Quebec.
• Nova Scotia uses the CPI-Based Adjustment factors as the allowable base percentage for drug increases.

Email all documents to: ns.pharmacare.price.list@medavie.bluecross.ca and pharm.serv@novascotia.ca. Incomplete or late submissions will not be eligible for review.
