This page has PharmaCare information and resources for community organizations.

Welcome to the PharmaCare Community Hub!

The PharmaCare Community Hub has resources for community organizations so they can help their clients understand and access BC PharmaCare coverage. Whether you work with youth, seniors, newcomers, low-income families, or people living with substance use disorders, you’ll find helpful information and resources here.

BC PharmaCare is B.C.’s public drug coverage program. BC PharmaCare has 13 plans that help B.C. residents pay for many prescriptions, medical devices and supplies, and pharmacy services.

Help your clients get coverage

The best first step is to encourage your clients to register for Fair PharmaCare, the income-based plan for B.C. residents.

  1. Register online at gov.bc.ca/ahdc, or call us at 1-800-663-7100 for temporary coverage right away. You can also mail in a paper version of the Application for Health and Drug Coverage (PDF,1,392 KB).
  2. Sign and return the consent form that will arrive in the mail. This allows the Canada Revenue Agency to check your income every year. This step is critical for Fair PharmaCare coverage.
  3. Keep filing taxes for coverage that matches your income.

Use the interactive PharmaCare Compass with your clients to help them learn which BC PharmaCare plans they qualify for and next steps. You can also print a paper version of the PharmaCare Compass (PDF, 227 KB)

Use the interactive Compass at www.gov.bc.ca/PharmaCareCompass to find out how BC PharmaCare can help with the cost of prescriptions, medical devices and supplies.
