British Columbia's income-based help with prescription drug costs: the less a family earns, the more help it gets. You must be enrolled in the Medical Services Plan and consent to income verification with the CRA. Once the family deductible is met, PharmaCare pays 70% of eligible costs, or 75% if a family member was born before 1940; past the family maximum, 100%. Eligible costs include dispensing fees of up to $11 per prescription. If the consent form is not returned within 30 days, the deductible is set at $10,000.
Eligibility conditions
Reside in an eligible province (BC)
How to apply
Register online or by phone with the family's Personal Health Numbers and net income (line 23600) from two years ago.
Return the consent form within 30 days, otherwise the deductible is raised to $10,000.
Ask for an income review if income has dropped by at least 10% since the reference year.
