| Description | Provides financial help for prescription drug expenses. The program will allow people to use their Ontario Health Card to receive Ontario drug benefits after they've paid a deductible based on family size and net income. This program does not replace private insurance plans, but may be of help to those who can not obtain private plans or have exhausted their benefits. |

| Areas Served | Ontario |
| Eligibility | Persons paying a large part of income for prescription drugs; Valid Ontario Health Card; Not on ODB Program; If part of a private drug plan, only eligible if prescription drug costs are not fully covered |
| Application | Application kit (gets mailed to mailing address above, not street address) and brochures are available by calling the toll free phone number or at pharmacies. |
| Fees | None ; The annual deductible is paid in four installments over the Trillium program year (August 1 to July 31 of the following year). For example, a family man with an annual deductible of $500, will pay $125 for prescriptions purchased at the start of each quarter on August 1, November 1, February 1, and May 1. After the deductible is paid in each quarter, the family will receive benefits for that quarter, and may be asked to pay up to $2 per prescription each time they purchase a covered drug product. Any unpaid deductible in a quarter will be added to the next quarter's deductible. A prorated deductible is available for families who come into the program part way through the program year. New applicants to Trillium can choose the date on which they wish to be enrolled in the program. The deductible they pay will be based on the number of days left in the program year. |
