Manitoba Government Funded Post-Operative Hip and Knee Physiotherapy
The Manitoba provincial government is funding physiotherapy for post-operative hip and knee replacement surgeries.
To Qualify
- You must reside in Manitoba.
- Your surgery date must be on or after January 1st, 2023.
- Your physiotherapy must start on or after April 1st, 2023.
What is Covered?
- Six individual on-on-one sessions with a registered physiotherapist.
- Ten group classes.
Coverage Details
If you have third party insurance coverage for physiotherapy, it must be used prior to any provincial funding. Here are some examples:
- Example 1 – The patient has no private or third-party insurance coverage
If you have no insurance the full cost of the appointment is eligible for coverage.
- Example 2 – The patient has third party coverage – Option to use MB Post Op funding as a secondary insurance
Patients with private coverage must first utilize their third-party insurance. If the coverage is 80% then the patient can use this MB Post Op funding as a secondary insurance to cover the remaining 20% of the appointment cost. This method will still cap at six visits, even if only a small portion of the funding has been utilized.
- Example 3 – The patient has third party coverage – Option to use MB Post Op funding once primary insurance has maxed
If the patient has private coverage, they may choose to pay for their appointments using this, and cover the remaining balance themselves. Once they have maxed their own insurance, they may use the MB Post Op coverage and they would have six individual session or 10 group sessions.
