Is financial support available to help cover drug costs?
Most Canadians have access to reimbursement for prescription medications through:
- private insurance plans (third-party insurance)
- the provincial/territorial drug benefit programs
- federal programs for certain groups.
Each provincial and territorial government offers a drug benefit plan for eligible groups. To find out what’s available where you live, click on the link below:
