Publicly Funded Drug Programs

Trillium Drug Program

The Trillium Drug Program (TDP) is intended for Ontario residents who have high prescription drug costs in relation to their net household income. The TDP provides coverage for prescription drug products (in the same manner as the Ontario Drug Benefit program) that are listed on the Formulary :

Please note that deductibles and co-payments will apply to this income-based program. Patients can register in the Trillium Drug Program if they :

  • Comply with all requirements set out in the regulations under the ODBA
  • Do not have private insurance coverage or their private insurance does not cover 100% of their prescription drug costs; and they
  • Have valid Ontario Health Insurance (OHIP) and are a resident of Ontario; and they
  • Are not eligible for drug coverage as another category of recipient under the Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) Program (i.e., not a senior over 65 years of age, not a social assistance recipient, not receiving professional Home Care services, or not a resident of a Long-Term Care Home or Homes for Special Care).

The operations of the Exceptional Access/Individual Clinical Review program and the Trillium Drug Program are managed by the Individual Eligibility Review Branch of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Trillium Drug Program Application Forms and Guides are available at local pharmacies, online, or by calling 416-642-3038 or 1-800-575-5386 (toll free) :
