  • Plan G bridge coverage is available in urgent after-hours circumstances. It is provided for up to 3 months. Prescribers should encourage clients to get regular Plan G coverage in place before the 3-month period is up.  Can be applied for by practitioners in Emergency departments (EDs).  Fax directly to HIBC at 250-405-3896. (Plan G forms are normally sent to a mental health and substance use centre for processing before being sent on to HIBC. The expedited administrative process means Plan G coverage can be activated more quickly).
