Free contraceptives

Beginning April 1, 2023, PharmaCare will pay for many prescription contraceptives for any B.C. resident.
You can get them at most community pharmacies, with a prescription and your BC Services Card:

• Hormonal IUDs

• An injection

• An implant

• Morning-after pill (no prescription needed)

You do not have to register for coverage or fill out any forms. Simply present your prescription and BC Services Card at a pharmacy.

Contraceptives can be prescribed for any reason (including non-contraceptive use, such as osteoporosis prevention).
