BC Transplant provides funding and guidelines on medication for transplant patients.
For the latest transplant medication guidelines, please see the document below:
Patients in BC are required to fill their prescriptions for the transplant medications at one of the 13 BC Transplant partner pharmacies.
BC Transplant funds specific out-patient post solid organ and pancreatic islet transplant medications. These include immunosuppressants, select anti-viral agents and red blood cell stimulating agents.
In order for these specific medications to be paid for by BC Transplant, patients who have received a solid organ transplant must be registered with BC Transplant, have active status with BC Medical Services Plan (MSP) and be a resident of BC.
To align BC Transplant’s maximum day supply of medication coverage with other government agencies such as BC Pharmacare, BC Cancer, and third-party insurance companies such as Pacific Blue Cross, BC Transplant funds the usual 100 day (three months) supply of BCT formulary medications. However, for patients who are clinically stable from a transplant perspective, a four-month supply may be dispensed at the discretion of the pharmacist. For more details, review the
BC Transplant Maximum Day Supply policy.
