Financial Assistance for Passenger Transportation
For patients who need to travel outside the region to receive medical care and services
The financial assistance program is for users of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue health and social services network who must travel outside the region, at the request of their physician, to receive health care and social services not available in Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
This program stems from the Politique de déplacement des usagers du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux du Québec (policy on travelling expenses for users of Québec’s health and social services network). It offers financial assistance to users, but does not reimburse all travelling and accommodation expenses.
Eligibility criteria
- To be eligible, the user must:
- be a Québec resident;
- have received a medical prescription from a physician in Abitibi-Témiscamingue for health or social services not available in the region and/or within the required timeframe;
- travel to a Québec health and social services institution more than 200 km away from the institution in Abitibi-Témiscamingue where they usually receive their basic care and services;
- travel to an institution that can provide the required care and services and is nearest to the institution they usually visit;
- travel for care and services covered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ).
