If you or someone you know is paying out of pocket for prescription medications? Before you (or they) sign up for an expensive private plan through Manulife, etc. know this:
The Ontario Government offers the "Trillium Drug Program". Key features include:
- EVERY Ontarian with a valid health card is eligible
- Coverage includes all members of your household (nuclear family)
- You CANNOT be denied coverage
- There IS a deductible of roughly 4% of combined (household) NET income. This is divided into quarterly payments. Eligible prescriptions are just $2 after that.
- The vast majority of drugs are covered (the same plan as for seniors)
- Diabetic testing strips are covered
- Does NOT cover dental, physio, chiro, or anything like that
