ODB eligible people may be asked to pay some portion of their prescription drug product costs.
Single seniors (people aged 65 or older) who have an annual income of $16,018 or more and seniors in couples with a combined annual income of $24,175 or more pay a $100 deductible per senior before they are eligible for drug coverage. After these seniors pay the deductible, they then pay up to $6.11 toward the dispensing fee each time they fill a prescription for a covered drug product in Ontario in the benefit year.
All other ODB eligible people, including Trillium Drug Program recipients, may be asked to pay up to $2 each time they fill a prescription. Trillium Drug Program applicants must also pay a quarterly or prorated deductible that is based on their income before they are eligible to receive drug coverage.
