What is the co-pay amount a Trillium patient must pay after their deductible is met?

The co-pay amount that a Trillium patient must pay after their deductible has been met is $2. The Trillium Drug Program, administered by the Ontario Ministry of Health, is designed to help residents with high prescription drug costs based on their income and family size. Once patients meet their deductible, they are typically required to pay a co-payment to make medications more affordable.

The $2 co-pay is set to ensure that patients share some of the costs while still receiving financial assistance for their medication needs. This structure supports adherence to prescription therapies by minimizing out-of-pocket expenses for individuals enrolled in the program.

Other amounts, such as $1, $3, or $5, do not reflect the established co-pay structure under the Trillium Drug Program, making them incorrect choices. Each of these values may represent other co-pay systems or programs, but they are not applicable to Trillium. Understanding the specific co-payment amount helps patients plan financially and aids in accessing necessary prescriptions without significant financial burden.
