Medical Transportation Benefit Coverage
Medical transportation may be provided for clients to access medically necessary health services not available in their community of residence. Medically necessary health services may include:
• Medical services insured through the BC Medical Services Plan (MSP);
• Publicly-funded diagnostic tests and preventive screening programs;
• Services covered by First Nations Health Benefits (e.g., dental, vision, etc.);
• Traditional healers; and
• Treatment at the nearest appropriate facility in BC funded by or referred to by the National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program (NNADAP).
The MT benefit covers the most economical and efficient means of transportation, taking into account the urgency of the situation and the medical condition being addressed.
