Medicines, in BC, are covered under a separate plan.. Pharmacare. As far as this goes, insulin is covered:

Yes, I'm aware of PharmaCare. Sure, they theoretically cover insulin; but if you read the fine print about which insulins they cover, it's not so helpful.

An example of their craziness: They cover insulin pumps for children under 18, but they don't cover the types of insulin which work in insulin pumps.


Ontario has a similar plan but you must only make around <$30k to get assistance.
