What if I cannot take a generic form of a particular drug for medical reasons?

May 1, 2024

The OSSTF Benefits Plan has a mandatory generic requirement.

If you or your dependant cannot take a generic drug because of an adverse reaction or therapeutic failure, you can request your physician to complete the Request for Approval of Brand-Name Drug Form (689kB PDF) and submit it to OTIP Health Claims for review.

This form is also available at wwww.otip.com/forms.

NOTE: Completion of this form is not a guarantee of approval.
