Vancouver, BC - CF insurance/medical coverage

[anonymous]

Hello,

My wife has CF and I am trying to find more info about insurance/medical coverage for CF patients in BC. Do you know who I should contact to find out more details?

Thanks for the help,
Preston

I'm not sure where to go but I have heard that Canada covers pretty much everything CF related and I hope that is accurate information.
Hopefully someone that's actually from Canada can give you some help here.

Hi.....36 yr old fe,ale with CF. I just moved to Ontario from BC and I can answer your question for you. Any presciption that your wife gets from the CF Clinic should automatically be covered, exspecially her enzymes. I now live in Ontario and any prescription I get from the CF Clinic out here is covered too. I'm not sure where abouts you are in BC, I'm guessing Vancouver, call the CF Clinic at St. Paul's Hospital, the number is: 604-806-8522 and if I remember right ask to speak to Janet, she'll lead you in the right direction. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions that I may be able to help you with pls feel free to email me at: jinakicksbutt@hotmail.com or you can reach me on here.

Good Luck
