Veteran Benefit Programs
For patients, choosing a Licensed Producer (LP) that fits your budget is critical. Fortunately, many Licensed Producers offer compassionate pricing and discount programs for those that require financial assistance for their medicine. Whether you’re a patient with low income, have a disability, are a veteran or a first responder, see below for a detailed breakdown of the discount programs offered by some of Canada’s most well established LPs. A note on the Veterans Programs: this is not a discount directly from the LP, but rather through Veterans Affairs to cover the medication or parts of it.
