Labrador Residents to benefit from Medical Transportation Assistance

The provincial government has announced changes to the Medical Transportation Assistance Program.

Effective immediately, all residents in the Labrador-Grenfell Health Zone are entitled to the same rate for reimbursement of eligible expenses, such as airfare and accommodations, for travel to larger centres to access specialized insured medical services.

On April 1, the responsibility for MTAP and the Medical Transportation Program for Income Support Clients for all areas of the province was transferred to the Department of Labrador Affairs.
