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
If you have private insurance, check with your insurer
about which drugs are covered by your plan.
