Understanding the Travel Assistance Program (TAP) for BC Residents

Writer's picture: ME|FM Society of BCME|FM Society of BC

The Travel Assistance Program (TAP) offers financial relief for BC residents traveling for non-emergency medical services not available in their communities.


Residents must have MSP enrollment and a referral to an MSP enrolled medical specialist for services outside their community.




Key Points:

  • TAP does not cover personal expenses like meals or accommodations.

  • Your travel must not be covered by third party insurance.

  • Before travelling, you will require:

    • a completed TAP form (available from a physician, nurse practitioner or speciality clinic) and

    • a confirmation number (subsequently received from TAP).

  • Forms are valid for three months; ensure all details are current.



In collaboration with the Ministry of Health and transportation partners, TAP also provides discounted travel options.
