PEI Generic Drug Program
PEI Generic Drug
The PEI Generic Drug Program helps Islanders under 65 who do not have private drug insurance by limiting the out-of-pocket cost of eligible generic prescription drugs to a maximum of $19.95. It is designed to make essential generic medications affordable for uninsured residents.
Conseils utiles pour la demande
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if a generic version of your medication is available, since the program covers generics. Confirm you have no private drug insurance before applying. The out-of-pocket cap of $19.95 applies to each eligible generic prescription, so ask your pharmacist to apply it.
Documents requis
A valid PEI Health Card, confirmation you have no private drug insurance, proof you are under 65, and a prescription for an eligible generic medication from the Formulary.
Comment présenter une demande
Apply through the PEI government Generic Drug Program page. You must have no private drug insurance coverage, be under 65, and be a PEI resident with a valid PEI Health Card.
Erreurs courantes à éviter
A common mistake is applying when you have private drug insurance, which makes you ineligible. Another is assuming brand-name drugs are covered — the program is for generic drugs. People also miss that the $19.95 cap applies per eligible generic prescription.
