Travel Assistance Program (TAP)

The  TAP  helps  alleviate  some  of  the  transportation  costs  for  eligible  BC  residents  who  must travel  within  the  Province  for  non-emergency  medical  specialist  services  not  available  in  their own community.To be eligible for this program:You must be a BC resident and enrolled in MSP. You must have a referral from a physician  or nurse practitioner to a specialist or for specialty services.

The staff at the Cortes Health Centre will provide the TAP forms to eligible patients on behalf of the referring physician. If there is confusion regarding your eligibility, the staff will refer you to the on call  physician. The  physician is ultimately held responsible in the event of audits, which are conducted from time to time.
