Is Pillcheck covered by provincial health insurance in Canada?

To our knowledge, no Canadian provinces or territories currently provide coverage for broad pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing. Such testing is typically paid for out of pocket by consumers, through employer or extended health benefits plans, or through private insurers that have begun adding PGx coverage. If you don’t have private health insurance or workplace benefits, you can claim Pillcheck as an eligible health expense on your annual income tax return. Check our insurance page for more information. 

There is some public funding for single-gene testing for a select few “high-stakes” oncology drugs. This testing is usually administered through provincial cancer agencies or hospitals and is not paid for out of pocket by patientss.
