 Determine requirements for change
You need to complete these change forms (as applicable) if:
- You currently have benefit coverage and require a change such as addition or deletion of a
spouse/dependent; changing your name or other personal information. To
update your address, please use Employee Self Serve.
Once changed in Employee Self Serve, your address will be automatically updated with the benefit
providers.
You are responsible for providing accurate and timely enrollment information to maintain
uninterrupted coverage for yourself, your spouse and/or your dependents. Please review the
dependent criteria to determine if
your spouse/dependent are eligible for coverage.
All eligible employees may change their coverage by completing the forms and following the
instructions below.
If you are adding a spouse/dependent who recently moved to BC, MSP requires a waiting period
which consists of the balance of the month in which their residence in BC is established, plus
two months. For further information, please see the MSP website at:

The monthly premiums for Medical Services Plan are $54 for a single person, $96 for two persons
and $108 for three or more persons. If you are eligible, your employer will pay the full premium
for this benefit. The employer-paid premium is a taxable benefit; therefore duplicate coverage
will mean an unnecessary tax expense to you, and extra costs to the employer. You should not enroll
if you are already registered elsewhere as an eligible dependent in the plan. Please note if
you wish to cancel Medical Services Plan coverage for all covered individuals under your plan
including yourself, please forward an email to BenefitsServiceCentre@gov.bc.ca

You should expect to receive your identification cards within 4 weeks of mailing the form to the
Benefits Service Centre. If you are adding a spouse/dependents, we suggest not visiting the
dentist/pharmacist until you have received your identification cards confirming your spouse and/or
dependents effective date and eligibility. Please contact the Benefits Service Centre if you
have not received your identification cards or have questions regarding your effective date.
It is very important that all employees eligible for Group Life Insurance keep an updated Group
Life Beneficiary Designation form on file. Please take the time to carefully consider who you
designate as your beneficiary and remember to update this document if your personal circumstances
change in the future.
To change your beneficiary, you complete a new form and forward it to Benefits Service Centre.
For your information, the group life benefit payment is non-taxable when paid to a named
beneficiary. A benefit payment made to an estate becomes part of the proceeds of the estate for tax
purposes.
Once you are enrolled in optional spouse and dependent coverage, you do not need to complete any
further forms for additional dependents. If you no longer wish to continue the coverage, or you do
not have a spouse or dependents, please complete a form to cancel the coverage.
