What services are covered under MSP?
The Medical Services Plan (MSP) of British Columbia covers a wide range of essential healthcare services for residents. These include visits to doctors, specialists, and healthcare practitioners like chiropractors and physiotherapists. Basic diagnostic services such as X-rays, laboratory tests, and diagnostic imaging are also covered. MSP provides coverage for medically necessary surgeries and procedures, including medically required eye examinations and certain dental surgeries. Pharmaceutical coverage is included for eligible prescription drugs, with some exceptions. Preventive services like annual physical examinations, immunizations, and cancer screenings are covered as well. However, specialized treatments such as cosmetic surgeries, fertility treatments, and non-medically necessary eye or dental treatments are generally not covered by MSP. It is important to note that some services may require upfront payment and subsequent reimbursement from MSP.
