Pharmacy fees & BC Fair Pharmacare

Did you know that the dispensing fee for prescription drugs is different at each pharmacy? Did you know that the government pays a portion of your drug costs when they reach a certain level? Victoria dispensing fees - April 2012

For comparison: November 2010

BC's Fair Pharmacare is a government program that assists residents with their drug costs. After your family drug costs exceed a certain level (about 2-3% of income), 70% of your drug costs will be covered. After drug costs exceed the next level (about 3-4% of income), 100% will be covered. You are likely already registered for this program; visit Fair Pharmacare for more information.
