How to access Ontario Drug Benefit coverage — and autofill your details with my-id.ca
Get Ontario Drug Benefit coverage without re-entering your personal details
Whether you're enrolling through automatic coverage, applying through the Trillium Drug Program, or completing an annual review, ODB-related forms ask for the same name, date of birth, and health number. This guide is an example of storing those repeating fields in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official Ontario source and always use the current version — eligibility rules can change:

What this program is about
The Ontario Drug Benefit program helps eligible residents pay for prescription drugs. Some people are covered automatically; others — especially those with high drug costs relative to income — apply through the Trillium Drug Program. Annual reviews may ask you to confirm your household and income information.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your name, date of birth, and Ontario health number.
- Your current address and contact details.
- Household members' information for household-based programs.
Confirm your eligibility category and the current application process on ontario.ca.
