Medical Transportation

Medical Transportation continues to be an issue of concern in two areas, with the first one being reimbursements from First Nations and Inuit Health, Non- Insured Program. Each year our auditor raises concerns with the time frame for reimbursements from FHIH-NIHB. The second concern is with the drastic increase in the cost of fuel, there has not been any compensation in the mileage rates for medical appointments. It is becoming more difficult to find medical drivers at the current rates.
