Get help with high prescription drug costs

Find information on the Trillium Drug Program that helps Ontarians pay for their high prescription-drug costs.

If you have high prescription-drug costs — compared to your household income — you might qualify for the Trillium Drug Program. The Trillium Drug Program covers the cost of about 5,000 prescription drugs that are currently available through the Ontario Drug Benefit program, and about 1,000 drug products upon meeting specified criteria through the Exceptional Access Program.

The Trillium Drug Program year is from August 1 to July 31. Make sure you apply by September 30 to be reimbursed for any eligible drug you received in the previous program year (August 1–July 31).

To avoid unnecessary delays and ensure timely processing, complete the Trillium Drug Program Application available on the Ontario Drug Benefit Program Online Applications and Forms website. The online form will guide you through the application process to ensure all the information required for enrolment is provided before submission.
