Different Types of Medical Coverage for Prosthetics

Fair Pharmacare / BC Health

This program provides financial assistance for designated prosthetic items. A family’s annual deductible (applied each year) is based on income. After the deductible has been paid, Fair PharmaCare will pay 70 percent of approved prosthetic costs. Fair PharmaCare will cover 100 percent of the costs for the remainder of the year once a family has paid their assigned maximum amount (deductible). Once everything is in order, you need to register with the Fair Phamacare program, their telephone number is (604) 683-7151.
Pharmacare will cover a new prosthesis every 3 years or if there are unexpected changes to the residual limb.
