| Health Authority | Program & Referral Information |
|---|---|
| Island Health | The program lists MedPro for hospital applications. Community applications follow the separate route shown on the program’s page. |
| Vancouver Coastal Health | Regional information about home oxygen equipment setup, education and ongoing service. Confirm the current application and supplier arrangements with the program. |
| Fraser Health | The application directs hospital referrals to MedPro. Community referrals require the program to select the supplier. |
| Interior Health | Physician referral for assessment and subsidy review. Confirm service availability with your local Home and Community Care office. |
| Northern Health | Requests are made by a physician. Regional eligibility and approved-supplier requirements apply; confirm the current referral route with the program. |
Referral requirements and supplier arrangements depend on the region and where the application originates. Follow the current program instructions when arranging equipment. For MedPro service enquiries, contact your local clinic.
CPAP & Bilevel
Understand Your Equipment Coverage
The available funding route depends on your benefit eligibility and the prescribed equipment.
Extended Health Benefits
Ask your insurer about separate benefits for the PAP device, mask and replacement supplies. Confirm eligible items, benefit limits, your share of the cost and any approval needed before purchase.
MedPro can prepare a quote and equipment details for a coverage review. Your insurer confirms coverage and the billing process.
BC Breathing Device Support
BC’s breathing-device policy may fund CPAP or BiPAP devices for eligible people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
This can include eligible income or disability assistance clients. The ministry considers health-supplement eligibility, other funding sources and approval requirements. Review the policy with your ministry contact before ordering.
