1500 New Brunswickers Have Expired Medicare Cards

If your Medicare card has just expired at the end of February and you're wondering where your new card is, you're not alone.

The province's department of health says 1500 New Brunswickers have yet to receive their new card because of a roll-over to new computer software.

Department of Health spokesperson Danielle Phillips says all expired card-holders are fully covered and the province will pay for any charges that may be incurred while the cards are being sent out.

She says by month's end, all of the new cards should be out.
