Are you a registered cystic fibrosis, cancer, AIDS/HIV, post-transplant, kidney disease or retinal disease patient?

Yes

If yes, you may be eligible to receive full public coverage of any prescribed medicines related to your condition that are listed on the specific program formulary. In the case of cystic fibrosis patients, it is possible to conduct a search of the BC PharmaCare formulary by looking up the name of the medication to see if it is covered*. Not all the relevant formularies are publicly available, but cancer patients can refer to the BC Cancer formulary, post-transplant patients can see a list of covered medicines on the BC transplant formulary, kidney disease patients can see what medicines are reimbursed by visiting the BC Renal Program’s Pharmacy and Formulary website, and patients with retinal diseases can see what medicines are reimbursed by visiting the BC Retinal Diseases Treatment Program website.

*If you are looking up a medication for cystic fibrosis, you have to select "Cystic Fibrosis" from the drop down menu when searching for the drug.
