2025 Medication Coverage Report Available

The recently released 2025 BC Medication Coverage Report provides an update on advocacy and awareness efforts since the release of the BC Medication Coverage Report in 2024. The report, which was produced by the Gastrointestinal (GI) Society, a member of MedAccess BC, highlights the limited changes that have taken place to ensure equitable coverage of lifesaving and life-altering treatments for patients in BC over the past year. The report also emphasizes that opportunities for improving access to therapies will be limited by a PharmaCare budget that will remain stagnant over the next three years while all other parts of the health system receive increased investment. The coalition remains very concerned about BC’s ranking as having the fewest covered medications and the lowest per-capita

spending on its drug plan in Canada.
