Nuxalk Patient Travel Program

The Nuxalk Patient Travel Program is delivered through FNHA’s Medical Transportation Benefits. MT benefits provide remote community members assistance with the cost of meals, accommodation and transportation to help you travel to a medical appointment outside your community of residence. MT coverage is intended as a supplement and may not cover the full cost of your travel. MT benefits cover travel to the closest appropriate provider, using the most efficient and economical type of transportation appropriate for your needs and medical condition.
