The 500-kilometre annual deductible period runs from April 1 to March 31st.
Changes made to the Medical Transportation Assistance Program as announced in Budget 2025, will put more money back into the pockets of those who need the service. Patients who travel more than 500 kilometres a year to access specialized medical care are now entitled to a $0.25 per kilometre rate for private vehicle travel, a five-cent increase. The 500-kilometre annual deductible period runs from April 1 to March 31st. Over 20,000 trips, or seven million kilometres, have been covered through the Medical Transportation Assistance Program during the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
