Plan NP diabetes medications
Last updated on February 6, 2026
The benefits on these tables are covered under the National Pharmacare Plan (Plan NP). The federal government contributes funding for national pharmacare.
PharmaCare's Full Payment Policy applies to Plan NP benefits with full coverage. This means pharmacies cannot charge clients for the medication or any service associated with the dispense.
Benefits with partial coverage are subject to Low Cost Alternative (LCA) pricing. Please prescribe a fully covered version whenever possible, to save your patient extra expense.
With the launch of Plan NP, the pricing of insulin as a PharmaCare benefit will be regulated under the Drug Price Regulation and subject to the Maximum Pricing Policy, and subject to the Full Payment Policy through an amendment to the Provider Regulation.
Special Authority
Several Plan NP benefits will continue to require Special Authority (SA). Once SA is approved the benefits have 100% coverage, unless LCA pricing applies. SA is no longer required for gliclazide, empagliflozin, empagliflozin/metformin, and insulin glargine (Semglee, Basaglar).
Pharmacists cannot apply for SA for Plan NP benefits, but can draft an SA request for a prescriber to review, sign, and submit.
For the non-benefit insulins listed below, as per Plan NP Annex A, BC PharmaCare may provide exceptional coverage on a rare, case-by-case basis.
