Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB)

The program provides registered First Nations and recognized Inuit with coverage for a specified, nationally consistent range of health benefits not otherwise covered through:

• provincial or territorial health insurance
• private insurance plans
• other publicly-funded plans or programs

The NIHB program is part of a broader system of federal, provincial and territorial health programs and services contributing to the health of Indigenous people in Canada.
