Patient Assistance Programs
There are numerous financial assistance programs available for pharmaceutical products:
- Ask at your local pharmacy;
- Contact the drug manufacturer;
- Contact your government (federal, provincial/state, regional);
- Search the internet for your specific medication;
- Ask your doctor or other health care professional.
Below is some information to help you get started:
InnoviCares
InnoviCares is a completely free supplemental patient benefit plan.
Regardless of your existing public or private health coverage, innoviCares allows you to receive
the brand-name medications and healthcare products prescribed by your physician at an
equal, or similar price to the generic alternative(s). There
are no monthly fees and innoviCares is accepted at over 98% of Canadian pharmacies. InnoviCares
is the first free patient benefit plan to have over 18 different pharmaceutical
manufacturers collaborate to put their products on one program to the benefit of their
patients; making innoviCares the largest, simplest and most beneficial program of its kind in
Canada. The innoviCares patient benefit plan is available to all residents in Canada at no cost,
regardless of your existing level of coverage. Each member of your family should have their own
card, so if you wish to register more
than one member of your family, simply provide a different email address for each individual. The
list of products covered by innoviCares varies from one province to another and is updated regularly.

Pharmaceutical Companies
Almost every pharmaceutical program offers financial assistance for their products.
They are not always advertised.
This means that you may need to call the company and ask for
help to get connected with a program. In addition, you can check
with your doctor or a local free clinic about samples or assistance.
