First day of the month coincident with or following appointment, or on the date MSP** commences. **In British Columbia, newcomers are subject to a 3-month waiting period before their Medical Services Plan (MSP) coverage begins. This period includes the remainder of the month they arrive plus the following two months. During this time, MSP does not cover medical services. It is recommended to either self-obtain private health insurance or coordinate with the former medical plan from the province you move from, to cover any potential healthcare needs. · Information on eligibility, enrolment and managing your MSP account is available at BC MSP. · Application is made directly to Health Insurance BC and you will be enrolled on a self-administered MSP account. · Any changes to your account (ie. address change, add/remove dependent) are made directly with Health Insurance BC. |
