Yes. Since the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) covers a small portion of emergency medical costs incurred abroad, the claim form is mandatory even if you didn’t make any payments during your trip.
The form must be
duly completed and signed
accompanied by supporting documents
sent by mail to the address indicated on the form; only your original signature will be accepted (no photocopies, email, or fax)
IMPORTANT: Failure to return the completed form shall authorize Québec Blue Cross to request that you reimburse the fees that were paid on your behalf.
If more than one insured person received medical care abroad, you must complete one form per person and
provide all of the information required, including information regarding a second insurer, when applicable
use a separate sheet of paper if there is not enough space on the form
sign the form in the spots marked with an x
include the signature of the policyholder if the claim relates to an insured person under the age of majority.

If your claim relates to a traffic accident and your province’s auto insurance is administered by a government program, you must first open a claim file with this program.
