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.
