Reimbursement of Ostomy/WouNd and Continence Supplies

How does Fair PharmaCare work? 

Families registered for Fair PharmaCare will pay full prescription costs* until they meet their deductible during a calendar year (January to December). Once a family meets the deductible, PharmaCare will pay 70% of the eligible cost of a drug for Regular Assistance families, and 75% for Enhanced Assistance families (those with a member born before 1940), until they reach their family maximum.

The family maximum is the annual amount that a family will pay toward eligible drug costs. After the family maximum is reached, PharmaCare will pay 100% of eligible drug costs (including most, not all, ostomy products) for the rest of the calendar year.

Deductibles and family maximums are based on the family’s net income.

*Families with incomes over $30,000 and current and ongoing drug costs may be able to use the Monthly Deductible Payment Option to receive immediate assistance.
