MSP for B.C. Residents

IMPORTANT!
All residents of B.C. must enroll with MSP (for the definition of a resident see Who is Eligible?). Premiums are required by MSP and there are several payment options available to you (see Premiums).

If you need to:

• Apply for MSP coverage - see How to Enroll with MSP.
• Advise MSP of an address change or permanent move outside B.C. - fill out an Address Change form (see Changes that Affect Your Coverage).
• Learn what to do when you are leaving the province - go to Leaving B.C. Note: If you leave B.C. you will continue to be billed for premiums, unless you notify MSP that you are moving away permanently and no longer require coverage.
• Change your name on or replace your CareCard - see Replacement of a CareCard.
• Add or remove family members from your MSP account - go to Adding and Removing Dependents.
• Apply for premium assistance - fill out an Application for Premium Assistance (see Premium Assistance).

Read MSP's Frequently Asked Questions for common questions and answers about MSP. To find options for contacting MSP, see MSP Contacts for B.C. Residents. To obtain a form, go to MSP Forms.
