If you are*:

  • a new patient to a cancer care program
  • a cancer patient who has been prescribed a “take at home” drug treatment
  • a cancer patient who has been prescribed a new cancer drug treatment not yet covered by the hospital or most drug plans
  • a cancer patient who has concerns about their drug coverage or affordability

You will be referred to an oncology drug access navigator by your oncology/nurse team. In some cancer centres in Atlantic Canada, referral is automatic.

If you are not referred, you can ask for a referral at any point during your care.

*applies to cancer patients in Atlantic Canada (NB, NL, NS, PEI)
