Patient Charges for Services Received

• Patients with Valid British Columbia or Other Provincial Medical Insurance Plans: Physician fees for patients with valid BC Medical Insurance are covered by the Medical Services Plan. The plan will cover lab and x-ray costs. Examples of costs not covered by the Medical Services Plan from any province include: crutches, fiberglass casts, cast protectors, shoulder or knee immobilizers and x-ray copies and ambulance service.

• Out of Province patients should note that your previous provincial coverage is only valid for 3 months from departure from your province. It takes 3 months to get British Columbia Medical coverage therefore you MUST apply immediately upon moving to B.C.

Out of Country & Uninsured BC and Canadian Residents

• Expect to pay for the services received while a patient in our care. The British Columbia Medical Association (BCMA) has established guidelines for charges to patients. The doctor's fee is set by guidelines established by BCMA. This amount varies depending on the time and the procedures required.

• Pursuant to section 4.12.9 of the Hospital Programs Policy Manual, hospitals in British Columbia are required to charge a surcharge to non-residents of Canada. These charges help cover the overhead to run the facility.
