BC PharmaCare started providing coverage of CGMs in June 2021 with coverage of Dexcom G6. In August 2023, the Province expanded coverage to include the FreeStyle Libre 2 flash glucose monitor (FGM). Coverage is now available for three glucose monitors.
PharmaCare continues to improve access to medical devices and drugs that people need. In January 2019, B.C. made a $105-million investment over three years to reduce and/or eliminate Fair PharmaCare deductibles and co-payments for people with lower incomes in B.C.
