Unfortunately, orthotic treatment (orthoses) is not funded through Nova Scotia’s MSI program.
There are a number of third party payers that may cover all or some of the cost of you device:
- Private health insurance plans (ie. Blue Cross, Canada Life, Sunlife, Manulife, etc.)
- Veteran Affairs Canada,
- NIHB,
- WCB (Worker’s Compensation),
- Department of Community Services (DCS).
Outside of these options, it may be possible to access support by connecting with:
- Local community groups
- Muscular Dystrophy Association
- MS Society
