My Mom's cataracts surgeries aren't covered by her Pharmacare because she needs advanced lenses - not covered by #BCgovernment.

The government only covers monofocal intraocular lens - when my Mom requires advanced lenses. Government doesn't cover advanced cataracts lenses.

So - please STOP messaging me about how BC government covers all cataracts - when they do not. I fucking work in health care. You seriously think I haven't looked at every possible helpful avenues prior to pleading more in public? I've been trying to get more help for far too long & not actually receiving help needed/requested.

My very first question, after last ophthalmologist appointment was - Does her Pharmacare cover what she needs or do I need to plan for costs outside of our monthly family budget.

I am not telling you what to do. As an American, we have to get "creative" about healthcare. For instance, my sister needed some dental work. The co-pays were crazy. My sister found she could pay less than the co-pays if she took a vacation to Cancun, Mexico. She took week to recover at a resort and she could chew with the left side of her mouth again.
This is just a suggestion. You may want to do better research than some strange American on Mastodon.
I wish you the best.

@ballista11 We can't even afford to go to next province, much less out of country.
