BC's Travel Assistance Program form lets an MSP patient referred to an insured specialist service outside their community get waived or discounted fares from partner carriers such as airlines, BC Ferries, bus and rail. The referring physician or nurse practitioner issues the sequentially numbered form at the time of referral. TAP does not pay patients directly or cover meals, lodging or fuel.
The referring physician or nurse practitioner's office completes Part One (referring and destination practitioners, destination city, appointment date, Escort Required box) and signs or stamps it. The patient adds their address and signs the declaration, and hospital staff use Part Two only for a return home after arrival by ambulance.

If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms change without notice, so download the current version from the official page before you fill it in.

The forms can't be downloaded. Physicians and nurse practitioners order the pre-printed, sequentially numbered forms from Health Insurance BC through an automated telephone line using their MSP practitioner number, or by fax with their name, full mailing address and practitioner number. Hospital social work departments and specialty clinics can also give forms to eligible patients.
BC residents enrolled in MSP who are referred by a physician or nurse practitioner to MSP-insured, non-emergency specialist services that aren't available in their community, at the closest appropriate location. Travel costs must not be covered by another payer, such as an extended health plan, ICBC, WorkSafeBC or a federal program.
Not directly. TAP is a partnership in which carriers waive or discount regular fares when the patient presents the form with a confirmation number. It doesn't pay patients, book travel, or cover meals, accommodation, mileage, fuel or local transportation, and nothing is reimbursed after travel.
