Each year under the Manitoba Pharmacare program, you have to pay a portion of the cost of your eligible prescription drugs. This amount is your annual Pharmacare deductible. Pharmacare determines your deductible based on your adjusted family income. To see what your estimated deductible would be, visit the Manitoba Health website.
Manitoba Pharmacare is a drug benefit program for eligible Manitobans - regardless of disease or age - whose income is seriously affected by high prescription drug costs.
You qualify for the Manitoba Pharmacare program if you meet the following criteria:
You can do one-time program enrollment and eliminate the need to submit a completed application form every year. To enroll, you’ll need to fill out and sign both the consent and declaration sections of the Pharmacare Application and Consent Authorization Form and send it to Manitoba Health.
The Canada Revenue Agency will then electronically forward to Manitoba Health your most recent income information. Your income level from last year will determine your annual Pharmacare deductible for the next benefit year (e.g., 2022 income determines the annual Pharmacare deductible for the 2024/2025 benefit year). The annual deductible is determined on April 1 of each benefit year.
