The Ontario Ministry of Finance launched a consultation on Preferred Provider Networks (PPNs) in the Employer-Sponsored Drug Insurance Sector.

In our response to this consultation, the CLHIA notes how PPNs help manage drug costs for both employers and Ontarians, provide additional health services for patients, and promote competition in the market. Based on these benefits, we recommended to the Ontario government not to regulate PPNs as it could lead to higher costs and less access to much needed medications for Ontarians.
