Manitoba Northern Companion Guide: After a Crash

Thompson to Winnipeg is around eight hours when the road is good. From Churchill there's no road at all, so it's the train or a plane.

MPI will cover a fair bit of that travel, but only the part you can show them. Most people mean to keep track and then don't, because you're sore and tired and the last thing on your mind after four hours of driving is writing down the odometer.

What's inside?

• Which door to knock on first in Manitoba, and in what order. MPI travel reimbursement to begin with, then Northern Patient Transportation and Hope Air
• A travel log with room for the distance, whether someone had to come with you, and whether you stayed the night
• A costs and receipts page that adds up what getting to your own care has cost you
• A call log for every conversation with MPI, and a follow-up template so you can put it in writing afterward
• A daily recovery record, and a weekly check on what you can and can't do yet
