BC Healthy Kids Program

Get access to prescription eyewear for your children if you qualify for the BC Healthy Kids Program.

What is 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.

How do I apply for the BC Healthy Kids Program?

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.

We are able to direct bill the Healthy Kids Program so that you can access funding for prescription eye wear. All we require is the MSP number of the patient. We look forward to helping all children get access to eye care and eye glasses.
