Who's eligible


The Quittin’ Time program is available to employees of the BC public service or other organization with coverage under the BC public service benefit plan. Spouses or dependants that are listed as dependants under the BC public service employee’s benefit plan are also eligible to participate in the program. The program includes professional quit counselling, texting support services, and expanded pharmacy or extended health coverage for smoking cessation products.

Participants who have extended health coverage and register to participate with the quit counsellors may claim smoking cessation products/prescriptions costs for reimbursement under the extended health plan.

Please note that products/ prescriptions must be purchased in the six-month period following your registration in the Quittin' Time Program.
If you are not sure if you are covered under the extended health plan, or you have questions about specific products covered, please contact Pacific Blue Cross in the lower mainland at (604) 419-2600 or toll-free at 1-888-275-4672.
