We know health care

We specialize in health care. We are industry leaders because we know health care. Over the years, we have established and maintained partnerships with governments, health practitioners, and our customers to ensure we have an intimate understanding of the changing health care needs of British Columbians. We recommend and provide cost-effective products and services to our members based on their needs. Our goal is to ensure we are able to make a meaningful difference toward achieving positive health outcomes.

Our commitment to service

Our intimate understanding of health care fuels our commitment to service. We listen to you to understand your needs and use our in-depth knowledge to deliver exceptional caring service. We want to make a meaningful difference for our members and the service we provide is something we are most proud of.

We are based in British Columbia

Our entire operation is based in Burnaby, BC. Claims are processed and service inquiries are handled locally. When our clients need access to key decision makers, we're right here.

We have strong ties to working British Columbians

Pacific Blue Cross is British Columbia's only unionized benefits provider. Our employees are represented by CUPE local 1816. We believe working British Columbians are the heart of this province and of our business.

We are a not-for-profit organization

Pacific Blue Cross is an independent, not-for-profit organization. Because we're not-for-profit, our resources are used to serve stakeholders, not stockholders. This means any financial surplus we generate is completely reinvested into the business for the current and future benefit of our members.
