The Medical Services Plan is the provincial health insurance program that covers health care benefits for BC residents. Learn about health care benefits of MSP, including services provided by physicians and other health care practitioners.

What's Covered? And What's Not?

It is important to know that not every service is a benefit of MSP. Read more to learn about what is covered and what services are not included. You will also find important information about MSP benefits when you are outside of BC under ‘Services Covered by MSP’.

Additional Fees and Charges

Learn about when these fees and charges are permitted and how to report charges that you believe are not permitted, by completing an extra-billing investigation form.

B.C. residents who are required to travel outside their home community to obtain non-emergency, physician-referred specialist medical care may be eligible to receive assistance to help with the cost of travel. Learn more about this program.
