I was a BC resident many years ago and had a CareCard and BC driver licence before moving to the USA. I am planning to return to BC and reestablish health insurance and driver licence.
MSP imposes a 3-month wait period for coverage. Would I need to wait until the wait period is over before applying for a BC Services Card? If I choose to have separate cards, I assume I can apply for the driver licence first and then the BC Services Card when eligible?
If I procrastinate and apply for MSP more than 3 months after arriving in BC and already completed the wait period, would the coverage begin immediately?
The name on the old CareCard is different from the name on the old driver licence. Would the BC Services Card show the name in the MSP database and the new driver licence show the name in the ICBC database?
