Advocate to Canada’s private insurers for Trikafta 

Trikafta is needed now. Yet too many private insurance companies are lagging in adding this life-changing drug to their coverage, causing suffering for Canadians with cystic fibrosis. It is time for Canada’s private insurers to do better for Canadians living with cystic fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis Canada is providing a toolkit you can use to advocate on behalf of yourself, or someone else, to these private insurers. If you wish to advocate to these companies, send the toolkit to representatives of your chosen private insurance company and ask them to:

How to use the private insurance toolkit

The contents of the toolkit are:

Craft your email to the relevant private insurance company and draw upon the evidence provided in the three CADTH submissions. This will give you an evidence-based approach to demonstrate the impact Trikafta has and substantiate your claims that this drug is needed now. You can also attach the open letter from Kelly Grover and the Clinical Guidelines to provide further guidance on the best ways they can help their clients living with CF.

Reach out to advocacy@cysticfibrosis.ca if you have any questions.
