Please write a letter with relevant details, including the medical circumstances that are prompting your request and any financial considerations. Include a letter or note from a physician or hospital indicating what the diagnosis is and when it was made, outlining the treatment plan for the wait period, and stating the patient’s prognosis. Send to: Director Medical Services Operations and Policy Ministry of Health 3-1 1515 Blanshard St Victoria BC V8W 3C8 Fax: 250 952-3133 Please note that waivers of the wait period are only approved in the most extenuating circumstances. Routine pre-natal care and the routine birth of a baby do not generally qualify a person for a waiver.
