Until the eligible person’s allowable drug costs for the fiscal period reach the deductible amount, the maximum co-payment that may be charged shall be the amount equal to the full amount otherwise payable by the Minister under section 6 of the Act in respect of the supply of the drug product less,
i. if the drug product is supplied in a pharmacy operated in a hospital approved as a public hospital under the Public Hospitals Act, 17 cents,

O. Reg. 83/98, s. 3 (4).
(8) If a person becomes eligible under the Act during the period of April 1, 1996 to March 31, 1997, the deductible amount used under subsection (5) to determine the maximum co-payment that may be charged during the fiscal period of July 15, 1996 to March 31, 1997 shall be the percentage of $100 that is equal to the result obtained by dividing the number of months in the period of April 1, 1996 and March 31, 1997 by the number of months during that period that the person is eligible.
