Fair PharmaCare
Income-based help with the cost of eligible prescription drugs and medical supplies for BC residents. Everyone with MSP is registered; lower income means more coverage sooner.
Register every year. Your family deductible is based on income, so fill all your prescriptions at one pharmacy so costs add up toward your deductible.
All BC residents with MSP coverage. The amount of help depends on income.
MSP enrolment and a filed income tax return.
Register online through Health Insurance BC. Help begins once you reach your family deductible.
Not registering — you must register, not just have MSP. Believing there is no help if your income is moderate — there is coverage at every income level after the deductible.
The Application Helper walks you through each question on this benefit's form in plain language.
