How long does it take for a patient’s Interim Federal Health Program eligibility to show in the Medavie Blue Cross system?
It takes two business days for the Medavie Blue Cross system to show if a patient is eligible. Patients are still eligible during this period.
All Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) clients are eligible for coverage starting on the date their IFHP eligibility document is issued.
If a patient requests services or products during this period, please follow these procedures, also found on the Medavie Provider website (PDF, 229 KB).
