How Nu‑Life Health Simplifies ODSP Medical Supply Coverage with Direct Billing
What is ODSP and the Mandatory Special Necessities Benefit?
The Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) is a provincial assistance initiative providing financial support to eligible residents aged 18+ who face substantial disabilities. Within ODSP, the Mandatory Special Necessities (MSN) Benefit covers essential medical supplies such as diabetic supplies, incontinence aids, ostomy products, wound dressings, surgical supplies, and transport costs for medical purposes.
Why Direct Billing Makes a Difference
Traditionally, recipients paid upfront for medical supplies and then submitted receipts to ODSP for reimbursement. With direct billing, Nu‑Life Health handles billing directly with ODSP. This means:
- No upfront out-of-pocket expenses
- Timely delivery of approved supplies to your doorstep
- Reduced administrative hassle for both clients and caseworkers
