Health Care Provider Access to
Prescription Drug Claims History For recipients of the Ontario Drug Benefit Program
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has been providing prescription drug claims history of patients receiving benefits through the Ontario Drug Benefit program (including Trillium Drug program recipients) to Ontario hospital emergency departments. Access to drug claims information in hospital emergency departments has resulted in benefits to ODB recipients such as improved patient care through the reduction of harmful drug reactions. Starting in December 2007, the ministry will begin to provide additional health care providers with access to ODB recipients’ drug claims information for the purpose of providing care. ODB drug claims information is collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004. Individuals who do not wish to make all or part of their ODB drug claims profile available to health care providers may withdraw their consent by notifying the ministry. The ministry uses various communication vehicles to inform ODB recipients of the potential disclosure of their drug claims information to health care providers through the DPV System. ODB recipients can obtain consent withdrawal/reinstatement forms from this web site or by contacting the ministry INFOline.
