Have you heard of the BC Healthy Kids Program? 👶👧👦💙
The BC Healthy Kids Program helps low income families with the costs of basic dental care, prescription eyewear and hearing assistance for their children. Eligible clients include children under 19 years of age who have coverage for Medical Services Plan (MSP) supplementary benefits through the Ministry of Health.
🪥Families who have been approved for MSP supplementary benefits will be signed up with the Healthy Kids Program. Your family must have an annual adjusted net income of $42,000 or less to be eligible for these benefits.
🦷Children are eligible for $2,000 of basic dental services every two years. This includes services such as exams, x-rays, fillings, cleanings and extractions. Your dentist can advise you of other services that may be covered. Emergency dental treatment for the immediate relief of pain is also available if the child's two-year limit has been reached.
