Title: financially supported airfares for out of province/country treatments
Post by: Everlasting on August 21, 2009, 12:54:45 AM

Hello:  There is an organization named Hope Air.....it provides funding for patients who are in need of treatment out of their province and even out of Country.  The one glitch is that the treatment must not be one that can be done in their own province
     The website is http://www.hopeair.org (It is based in Toronto).
On another note:  if a patient must go out of province their provincial health care server is obligated to pay for the treatment based on what it would cost in their home location.

Excellent link Everlast, at this point I have antibodies and might be in need to go to Toronto for IVIG treatments.  This hasn't come up yet but this is a great service to know about.
