Eligibility
Medical or surgical supplies may be provided to eligible clients when the ministry is satisfied that all of the following requirements are met:
the supplies are prescribed by a medical practitioner or nurse practitioner
the supplies are the least expensive and appropriate for the purpose
the supplies are disposable or reusable where appropriate
reusable where appropriate means a reusable medical supply may be considered when its purpose and use is more suitable than a disposable supply. Reusable medical supplies may have a lower environmental impact and be more cost effective in the long term. For example, cloth diapers may be more appropriate in some circumstances than disposable diapers.
the request is pre-approved by the ministry (the ministry does not accept payment responsibility, except in cases of a life-threatening emergency, for medical supplies purchased prior to approval)
