The Ontario Drug Benefit Plan seems to be confusing to a number of Members. Ontario residents 65 plus are eligible to purchase those prescription drugs which are on the pharmacy list under the Ontario Drug Benefit Plan, after the ANNUAL DEDUCTIBLE amount of $100.00 PER PERSON has been satisfied - after which only the dispensing fee of $6.11 maximum is charged. Both the $100.00 deductible amount, and each dispensing fee, are allowable claims under PSHCP, at 80% after the annual deductible amount - single or family, as appropriate has been satisfied. While the PSHCP operates on a calendar year basis from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, the Ontario Drug Benefit Plan operates on a fiscal year basis from August 1 to July 31. If you have questions or concerns relating to this, or any other PSHCP coverage area, I should be pleased to try to provide a satisfactory response. Telephone Elizabeth McNichol at 850-9878 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, or call the Branch office at 439-3762 anytime. |
