BC's Medical Services Commission has applied to provincial Supreme Court for an injunction against Telus Health's LifePlus Program alleging contraventions of the Medicare Protection Act.
Health Minister Adrian Dix says he asked the commission earlier this year to review Telus Health following public complaints of illegal extra billing.
Dix says the province will allow the legal process to proceed as it should, but it will continue to strongly defend the public health-care system.
BC Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau says she wonders why it's taken so long for Dix to act when she raised concerns in February that Telus Health has been charging thousands of dollars a year for access to primary care.
