Hello all,
Another quick and hopefully simple inquiry. Returned to the UK in June and as did not know how long would be away for I cancelled my BC Medical Coverage. Fortunately I can now return (I have PR btw) - hoorah! Anyway my spouse/partner as remained in BC all this time with coverage, but what is the procedure to reactivate my MSP now?
1) Do I need to re enroll from scratch the moment I arrive and wait 3 months for the coverage to reactivate
2) Should I re-enroll myself, or get my partner to add me to her coverage
3) Will I keep the same carecard number
Any advice as always gratefully appreciated. Have tried contacting MSP several times but to no avail
Thanks as always

My understanding is if you have canceled your coverage and therefore avoided paying premiums, you have to register and start again. Only MSP can tell you for sure. You may want to try e-mailing them.
