I can only answer for how Ontario, the province that I live in, handles methadone. I understand that the daily charge for methadone does vary from clinic to clinic throughout Ontario. To further narrow down things, I live in London, which is a reasonably large city about a two hours drive west of Toronto, and am charged $5.00/day at the clinic - obviously we pay $10.00/day as we are two!<BR/><BR/>If you are covered by your employer's health plan, then you wouldn't have to pay anything. Until August 15 of this year, my fees were all looked after by our work plan - until it was cancelled because we are both collecting <B> WSIB</B> benefits due to the attack and stabbing that occured during our working hours in May.<BR/><BR/>Since then, we have been paying for our methadone out of our own pocket. While I understand that our company wasn't doing anything illegal by terminating our benefits, they certainly crossed on over to a grey area ethically. Obviously, this action has left a certain bitter taste in my mouth, but I'll not bore you now with this rant! This may be best left for another day!<BR/><BR/>I know that many of the patients at my clinic are covered by various forms of available social assistace from Ontario such as the health benefits offered through <B>Ontario Works</B>.sickgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863419230566559818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644844963133586557.post-55157717030877179612008-10-30T12:59:00.000-04:002008-10-30T12:59:00.000-04:00Do they charge for methadone in Canada?
