Available Payment Options
The purchase or rental of equipment all costs money. To assist, in what could potentially become a financial burden, we offer the following helpful information. Many customers are able to limit their personal expenditure to only what is necessary, and allow a third party to assist with the balance. The following may represent sources of funding depending on your personal circumstances.
Private Funding
Private funding is when an individual pays for their equipment from their own money. Sometimes, societies and organizations will provide funding for equipment if individuals requiring financial assistance meet the criteria set out by such organizations. Contact us for more information.
Forms of Payment accepted
BC MEDEQUIP accepts Canadian Dollars (CAD) in the form of Interac e-transfer, Cheque, Visa, Mastercard, and Interac.
Insurance and Extended Benefits
Insurance and Extended Benefits allow people to substantially reduce the initial cost of medical equipment. Many people are unaware that their extended medical plan may cover a portion (75-100%) of the equipment cost, depending on the type of plan.
At BC MEDEQUIP, we work with therapists and health plan providers to expedite the process of securing funding or pre-authorization.
Government Funding
BC MEDEQUIP will bill direct to government agencies upon approval. This includes Worksafe BC, Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), Pharmacare, MEPP Program, Veterans Affairs (DVA), RCMP, National Defence (DND), Non-Insured Health Benefits (DIA), to name a few.
I liked that BC MedEquip is family owned and operated, and that they offer a wide variety of wheelchairs. We had positive experiences with BC Medequip and appreciate the great customer service we received.
