B.C.'s Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction uses this two-page form to decide whether an assistance client can get ministry-funded medical equipment, which must be the most basic, least costly option meeting a medically essential need. A ministry worker starts it, a physician or nurse practitioner recommends the equipment, and an occupational, physical or respiratory therapist provides the detailed assessment.
The ministry worker completes and signs Section 1 with the client; the medical practitioner or nurse practitioner completes Section 2 (medical condition and equipment recommended); and an occupational, physical or respiratory therapist completes Section 3, certifying that the recommended equipment will meet the client's medical needs.

Three parties: a ministry worker completes Section 1 with the client, who signs the consent; a medical practitioner or nurse practitioner recommends the equipment in Section 2; and an occupational, physical or respiratory therapist gives the detailed specifications and functional assessment in Section 3.
No. Ministry policy says medical equipment must be pre-approved before purchase, and without prior approval the ministry will not pay, except in a life-threatening emergency. The item must also be the least expensive appropriate option for the medically essential need.
