Natasha Monkman Quoted in Canadian HR Reporter on the Ontario Government Covering Prescription Drugs for Residents Under 25
Canadian HR Reporter quoted Hicks Morley’s Natasha Monkman in a May 29, 2017 article titled “Ontario to cover prescription drugs – with no co-pays – for residents under 25.” The latest Ontario budget announcement commits the province to becoming the first payer on prescription medicines for residents age 24 and under, as of January 1, 2018.
The article explores how this new measure could save employers 10 per cent on claim costs. “Employers that provide prescription drug benefits coverage to eligible dependants will need to review their plan to determine whether any changes are necessary following implementations of OHIP+ ” Natasha said.
