Medical Travel Assistance Program - Physician Escort
Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MN–S) provides medical travel benefits to assist registered Métis citizens to access medically required health services that cannot be obtained in the community of residence. One of the benefits that may be considered for funding is the provision of an escort.
The MN–S Medical Travel Assistance Program may assist for non-medical escorts to travel with patients who are unable to travel alone for medical or legal reasons and may be approved upon receipt of a physician's verification identifying that the patient requires an escort. The Program excludes compassionate travel (such as patient does not like to travel alone) or where the patient is under the care of the hospital or long-term care facility.
