Care that reaches every corner of BC
BridgeCare is for everyone in BC. We see especially strong demand from Northern BC and Vancouver Island, where the nearest doctor can be hours away—but wherever you live, we bridge the distance and connect you to a BC doctor without leaving home.
- From Haida Gwaii to the Kootenays
- No referral needed
- Same doctor, no travel
- Daily availability
Less distance between you and a doctor
A simple infection or a prescription refill shouldn't cost you a day off work—or a long drive when you live far from a clinic. BridgeCare brings unhurried, attentive care to your kitchen table, so where you live stops deciding how quickly you're seen.
Rural & remote communities. Skip the drive when you don't need to be examined in person.
Anyone with an MSP card. Eligible BC residents pay nothing for the visit.

BridgeCare is for prompt, episodic care—we're not a replacement for your family doctor, but we're here when you need to be seen quickly. Not sure if your concern is a fit? Book a visit and the doctor will tell you; if you need in-person or emergency care, they'll point you to the right place. In an emergency, always call 911.
Is BridgeCare covered by BC MSP?
Yes. For eligible BC residents with a valid Medical Services Plan (MSP) card, BridgeCare appointments are covered by MSP — there is no out-of-pocket fee for the visit. Have your Personal Health Number ready when you book, and we'll confirm eligibility.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually the same day or the next. BridgeCare is built for prompt, acute care—so when something comes up, you can often see a doctor without waiting days or weeks. Check live availability when you book.
Will I see the same doctor each time?
Yes. Unlike many virtual clinics that route you to whoever is free, at BridgeCare you see the same doctor—Dr. Babak Ghavami—visit after visit. That continuity means you don't have to re-explain your history every time.
How do I book an appointment?
You book online through our secure booking system. Choose a time, enter your details, and you'll receive a confirmation with a link to join your video appointment. No app download or account setup is required beyond the booking itself.
