Replacement of a CareCard
www.health.gov.bc.ca/e...ecard.html
A fee is not charged for a card issued when a person first enrolls with MSP or for the first gold CareCard issued to a senior. Nor is a fee charged for a card issued as a result of a surname change or correction of birth month or year.
A fee may be charged to replace a lost, damaged or stolen card. However, if a CareCard is damaged through normal usage and you return the damaged card, a free replacement card may be sent to you.
If payment is required, the fees are $20 for one card, $34 for two family members' cards and $50 for three or more family member cards (note: the $34 and $50 amounts apply if family members are covered under the same account).
The cheque for the replacement CareCard should be made payable to the Minister of Finance and mailed to:
Medical Services Plan
PO Box 9667 Stn Prov Govt
Victoria, B.C. V8W 9P6
