Pharmacare

Pharmacare is a drug benefit program for all Manitobans whose income is seriously affected by high prescription drug costs. Pharmacare coverage is based on total family income and the amount you pay for eligible prescription drugs. Each year you are required to pay a portion of the cost of your eligible prescription drugs, referred to as your Pharmacare deductible. This deductible is based on your total family income. There are 2 methods of applying to the Pharmacare Program: either through a one-time enrolment process or annually. Manitobans who selected the one-time enrolment process are no longer required to annually submit a Pharmacare Application.
