Check for Lower Out-Of-Pocket Medication Costs From Canada

Americans pay significantly more for prescription medications, 218% more than people in other countries like Canada. Canadian drug prices are lower because the Patented Medicines Prices Review Board regulates prescription costs, preventing pharmaceutical companies from charging excessive prices.

The Canadian Prescription Savings program provides access to Canadian pharmacy pricing for Americans. This is a cash-pay program that cannot be combined with insurance or coupons. The cost is often lower than insured copays.

This program benefits people who are:

• Uninsured
• Underinsured
• Insured but unable to afford their copay or coinsurance

U.S. government officials have indicated they don’t pursue individuals who obtain non-controlled prescription drugs from Canada for personal use (up to a 3-month supply). Hundreds of thousands of Americans use Canadian pharmacies to access medications at substantial discounts. For many patients, affordable medication prices make the difference between receiving treatment or going without.
