In This Issue:

1. Manitoba Health Pharmacare Deductible Program

On February 2, 2007 Manitoba Health held a press conference to formally announce the Deductible Instalment Payment Program for Pharmacare .  Manitoba Health will be sending application forms and program guides to Manitoba Pharmacies in the coming days.  The program guide provides a comprehensive outline of the Deductible Instalment Payment Program and will assist patients in completing the application form. 

To view a copy of MB Health's news release on the new program as well as Questions and Answer Document which was prepared by MB Health for Manitoba Pharmacists click here .

Questions on the program can be directed to the payment program office (945-1733 Winnipeg / 1-888-519-3492 toll free).  Normally the payment office will be open only during business hours, but may be expanded to longer hours and weekends when demand requires.

Pharmacy participation with this new program is voluntary and MSP has worked with Manitoba Health over the past year in an effort to ensure the demand on pharmacy staff time is minimized.  As this program is implemented members are encouraged to email MSP at info@msp.mb.ca with comments on their direct experiences.  This info rmation will be carefully reviewed and will assist the Society in our discussions with Manitoba Health.  All emails will of course respect members' privacy.
