OHIP Plus takes effect Jan. 1, 2018.
This is the Ontario government plan to offer
4,400 drug products free for anyone age 24 years or younger.
You don't need to enroll; all you need is an
Ontario health card number and an eligible prescription. When you take your
prescription into your pharmacy to be filled (or if you call in a renewal), in
most cases it will be at no charge for "children".
Not all drugs are on the "free"
list. You can check with your pharmacist or click here to search for the drugs that are covered, as well as
other information. Note - if the drug you are interested is not on the
list, your pharmacist should have information on how to get it approved for
coverage. If you are on a group plan and your child is covered (under 21
or under 25 and still a student), the group plan should still pay for the
drugs.
Please pass this information on to anyone
you know with children. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
