Funding

 

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
