- The beneficiary or his/her guardian must ask the dentist to contact NIHB Nunavik in order to verify your eligibility and obtain an authorization indicating the applicable reimbursement after validation of the beneficiary's eligibility, and the dental plan treatment.
- The authorization issued by Nunavik NIHB will indicate the amount to be reimbursed directly to the dentist. In the event that the program does not cover the full amount, the beneficiary will be responsible for paying the difference to the dentist.
