The list of NDFP-covered drugs is posted in the Cancer
Drugs section of the Cancer Care Ontario website.
NDFP Eligibility Forms - Eligibility forms specify for
physicians and pharmacists the reimbursement criteria for
intravenous cancer drugs, drug combinations and
indications currently covered under the New Drug Funding
Program (NDFP).
Some new and expensive IV drugs that are not funded
through the NDFP are available for private payment
(either third-party insurance or self-pay), out of province,
or at a private clinic. Some patients are beginning to have
these drugs administered at Ontario hospitals under the
care of their own oncologists for private payment. Each
hospital decides whether to administer unfunded IV
cancer drugs.
The NDFP does not fund IV cancer drugs administered in
private clinics
