BC PharmaCare

Provincial drug plan that helps BC residents pay for eligible prescription medications, dispensing fees, and some medical supplies, based on net family income. People born before 1940 pay a lower share of costs, 25 percent instead of 30 percent, once the family deductible is reached. Free to register. Enroll in MSP, then register for Fair PharmaCare online, by phone, or by mail, and consent to share income information with the CRA. Call the Health Insurance BC line for help registering or with coverage questions.
