to pay the 60% co-payment payable when they obtain their medicine anywhere else. These
DSPs are as follows:

Due to the sensitive process of administering oncology medicine, yours will be delivered to
your treating oncologist’s practice.

• Visiting an oncologist who is a member of the Independent Clinical Oncology Network
(ICON) – if not, a 10% co-payment will apply;
• Following the ICON treatment protocol – if not, a co-payment will apply; and
• Obtaining prescribed medicine (including chemotherapy) from Optipharm – if not, a
60% co-payment will apply.
