Copayment:

When you pay for a prescription, 20% of the prescription price is considered the copayment.

The balance of the total prescription price is then applied to your deductible.

The deductible must be paid in full before you will start to pay only the copayment amount. Based on the information you provided, the amount you will have to pay out-of-pocket before you start to pay only the 20% copayment is:

Out-of-Pocket Expense:

Once your family has reached both the annual deductible and annual copayment amounts, the program will pay for 100% of your drug costs that are benefits under the Family Pharmacare Program.

To know if the drugs you are prescribed are eligible, you can check the Nova Scotia Formulary.
