How to access

Check eligibility
Services are provided to people 15 and older living in the Vancouver Coastal Health region. Youth (15-18 years), refugee claimants, and individuals with post-operative complications who live outside the VCH Region will be given special consideration on a case-by-case basis.
Clients must have valid health insurance (either through MSP or through another Canadian Province) or be covered under interim Federal Health Insurance (e.g. refugee claimants, protected persons) to access treatment if they do not have medical health insurance, as you may be responsible for out-of-pocket costs such as labs/blood work.
If you have questions regarding program eligibility, please email transcareintake@vch.ca. If you live outside of the VCH region, please contact Transcare BC's Care Coordination team for help finding care in your area.
