I have been intimately educated and brought up to speed on c/ADHD about how, in the US, you're further limited to "in-network" pharmacies. Fuck this shit, regulators better shut this the fuck down. We are not becoming like the US any further as it relates to this stuff.

Anyone else with Manulife and seen this shit before?

Not exactly the same, but under some of their plans, they cover 80% of the price, but at some specific partner pharmacies, they will cover 90 or 100% instead.

For my plan, the partner pharmacies are Costco and an online one. Not sure if it changes between companies/plans, or if those were just their current partners for everyone insured with them.

I've got this with my Canada Life coverage. I can get prescriptions at any pharmacy at 80%, but if I go to Costco pharmacy it's 90% covered.

Ah, so they have a history of this.
