Unfortunately, residents in some parts of the country are struggling to access primary care. This is especially true in British Columbia where <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmaj.ca\/content\/195\/16\/E592#:~:text=By%20contrast%2C%20more%20than%20double,is%20heartbreaking%2C%E2%80%9D%20Kiran%20said.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27% of the population<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> finds themselves without one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re part of this group, know that you\u2019re not alone. We\u2019re here to explain how to find a family doctor in BC and help you access care while you wait.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to get a family doctor<\/b><b> or Nurse Practitioner (NP) <\/b><b>in BC<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more than a quarter of the province actively in need, the odds of finding a family doctor in BC may seem similar to hitting the lottery. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re trying to figure out <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to find a family doctor in Vancouver<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or Penticton, begin your search by registering with the province. Known as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hcr.healthlinkbc.ca\/s\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health Connect Registry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this government service matches BC residents who need a family doctor with providers who are accepting new patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to find a family doctor in BC<\/b><b> who is accepting new patients\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registering with the province is a great first step, however, it may take a while. To help speed things up, consider exploring some of these tried and true ways of finding a provider that\u2019s accepting new patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC) maintains a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsbc.ca\/public\/registrant-directory\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">directory of doctors in the province<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Use this to find practices nearby and call to see which ones are currently accepting new patients. Even if they\u2019re full, feel free to ask about waitlists so you don\u2019t miss out on future openings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pathwaysmedicalcare.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pathways to Care directory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also a great resource for finding doctors and other providers near you. As an added bonus, it lists whether they\u2019re taking on new patients or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If these options don\u2019t bear fruit, consider making use of your social networks to see if anyone knows of a provider taking on new patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any of your nearest and dearest have a doctor, consider asking if their provider will take you on. Sometimes, family doctors will add a spouse or family member of an existing patient to their roster even if their practice is already full.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on where you live, you may also wish to contact your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/divisionsbc.ca\/divisions-in-bc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local Division of Family Practice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to see if they can connect you with an appropriate provider in your area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What\u2019s the process for registering with a family doctor in BC?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figuring out <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to register for a family doctor in BC<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a relatively straightforward process. If you end up with one through the Health Connect Registry, they\u2019ll provide the practitioner with your details. From there, it\u2019s up to you to call and make an appointment once you\u2019re informed that you\u2019ve been matched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find a primary care provider another way, you\u2019ll need to provide them with three pieces of information in order to register:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your name.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your personal health number (you can find this on the back of your BC services card or the back of your driver&#8217;s license if you opted to combine the two).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your address and contact details.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provided you have their consent, you can also register family members, including children and partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to get a physical in BC without a family doctor<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s something comforting about getting an annual physical.\u00a0 However, if you\u2019re one of the many British Columbians looking for the peace of mind that comes with a yearly check-up, your options are limited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BC doesn\u2019t cover annual physicals unless you have a pre-existing condition that requires one which means you\u2019ll have to pay out of pocket. These private-pay options cover a wide range \u2014 from doctors that charge a small fee to executive health programs that cost thousands \u2014 so you\u2019ll likely want to shop around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you need a physical examination for a medical reason but don\u2019t have a family doctor, consider visiting a walk-in clinic. Providers there can determine how best to support you. And, if they confirm that it\u2019s medically necessary for you to receive a physical, MSP will cover the expense.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How long does it take to get a doctor in BC?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, it\u2019s hard to know how long you\u2019ll have to wait for a family physician. Waitlist times depend on different factors, including where you live and whether you have pre-existing conditions. As a result, they can range from weeks to months \u2014 or even longer \u2014 depending on your individual circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most medical issues can\u2019t wait that long. That\u2019s why the provincial government in BC has increased your options. The British Columbia Medical Services Plan (MSP) covers on-demand <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/onboarding\/get-started\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual care visits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through Maple. Provided you have a valid BC health card, this means you can connect with a general practitioner for covered visits Monday through Thursday between 10 am and 2 pm PT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need care outside of those times, you can still <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/regions\/british-columbia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">see a doctor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, however, your visit won\u2019t be covered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways to find a family doctor in BC, however, even the most dedicated search can still take a while. Try not to get discouraged. After all, all you need is to find one clinic that\u2019s accepting new patients. But, however long it takes you, know that when you need to see a doctor, we\u2019re here for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The information presented here is for educational purposes and is not meant to replace the advice from your medical professional.<\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>When using virtual care, all medical treatment is at the sole discretion of the provider.
