Health insurance (not life, auto, home, commercial) often requires pre-authorization. At least in the USA. Some health plans like “hmos” are very stingy with many rules that prevent payment. It’s a fucking mess.

It might be different for Canada though, so this continuity step could be omitted.

In Canada you can buy your prescribed meds and then file an insurance form. I did that myself more than once when 'computers were down' but cash registers were not.
